About Jason
Jason Elster is a counsellor who focuses on easing persistent anxiety and low self-esteem. He uses practical, solution-focused work to help people feel more confident and able in their everyday lives. Jason aims to make therapy straightforward and personal so people can see real changes they want to make.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred ideas, and other approaches to spot the thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
Background and approach
From there he helps people try small, manageable steps that can shift how they think and act. Sessions often involve talking through recent challenges and trying out new ways of coping. Jason regularly works with concerns such as stress, depression, relationship difficulties and grief.
He also supports people facing issues around addiction, trauma, eating, career stress and LGBT-related matters. Additional focus areas include ADHD, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems. He describes his style as respectful, sensitive and non-judgemental.
Treatment plans are adapted to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Jason encourages people to set realistic goals and reviews progress together. Jason holds an NCPS credential, which appears as NCPS.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the counsellor. It aims to create an accepting space where people can talk through their feelings and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to test out different ways of thinking and acting. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is ongoing, so plans adapt as progress is made or priorities change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or reducing the need to be on camera. Many people find that regular online sessions support steady progress while fitting into everyday routines.
