About Jake
Jake Hook offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship and intimacy struggles, anxiety, trauma, or questions about gender and sexuality. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. Jake aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices they value.
He uses a relatable, conversational style. Sessions combine listening with gentle challenge and practical coping tools. Jake pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns, and he helps people spot repeating cycles that cause pain or confusion.
Background and approach
Jake trained on a BACP-accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling at CPPD London. He has three years of professional experience and many years volunteering with LGBTQ+ helplines and youth services. That background informs his work with sexual health, gender dysphoria, and relationship concerns.
Typical sessions look at attachment styles, old relationship scripts and the role of shame or guilt in daily life. He also supports people facing addictions, eating worries, bipolar challenges, or midlife questions. Conversations can include partners when the client chooses relationship-focused work.
Jake follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by phone, video, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
How Jake’s approaches work online
Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choices and the experience of being alive. It can help when life feels uncertain, when someone is facing big changes, or when questions about identity and purpose are pressing.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflective listening so people can find their own answers and feel more confident in making changes.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand repeating behaviours, attachment styles and unconscious drivers behind anger, relationship problems or low self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jake will discuss options with each person and agree on a way of working that fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are helpful when visual connection matters, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
