About Jason
Jason Ebanks is a counsellor who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other common approaches to help people make meaningful changes. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Jason aims to offer straightforward support and practical next steps rather than long lectures.
Jason holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. He has four years of professional experience working with people facing emotional strain and life transitions. He adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation so sessions fit real life needs.
In session he listens first and asks clear questions to understand what matters most. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the person’s experience and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when people want tools to manage thoughts and feelings. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change and wants to find their own reasons to try something different.
Jason describes his approach as respectful and compassionate. He works with people to set simple, achievable goals and checks progress together. He supports practical coping strategies for everyday life as well as talking through deeper experiences like loss or past abuse.
People who choose him can expect open conversations and a plan tailored to their needs. To begin, the usual next step is to use the service Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing focuses on the person's own reasons for change and uses open questions and reflection to build commitment. It can help with motivation for lifestyle shifts, coping strategies and stepping through difficult decisions. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work and relies on listening, empathy and non-judgemental conversation to help people feel understood and find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives practical methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and try methods that suit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people meet from a quieter space. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that helps someone engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which formats they offer and help choose one that fits day-to-day life. -
