Jason Goudie

As your counsellor, my primary aim is to support you in gaining insight, finding clarity, and achieving meaningful change in your life. I work with a genuine, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach, offering a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges openly.

My practice is firmly rooted in the Person-Centred approach, with empathy, understanding, and kindness at the heart of everything I do. I see every client as an individual, tailoring my methods to meet your unique needs, ensuring that our work together is collaborative and empowering.

I draw upon my extensive training in a range of therapeutic modalities to create a flexible and dynamic approach. Whether you’re facing trauma, unresolved childhood experiences, bereavement, anxiety, low mood, stress, or a loss of sense of self, I’m here to help you navigate your way forward. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in a deep belief in your resilience and capacity for growth.

At the core of my work is a simple yet effective model: Insight – Action – Change.

• Insight: Together, we explore and gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, uncovering patterns that may be holding you back or causing emotional distress.

• Action: We collaborate to develop a practical and realistic action plan, focusing on the steps needed to create meaningful progress.

• Change: Change emerges from the actions you take. Together, we will celebrate your achievements, acknowledge the work you’ve done, and focus on maintaining and sustaining the positive changes you’ve created.

I am dedicated to helping you on your way toward greater mental well-being. Whatever challenges you face, I will be here to provide skilled support, helping you build the tools and confidence to create the life you desire.

When you choose to work with me, you can expect a professional, honest, and considerate approach tailored to your needs. I am deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you feel respected, valued, and understood. My practice is built on trust, transparency, and a genuine desire to help you achieve the outcomes you’re seeking.

I approach therapy with honesty and integrity, and I won’t shy away from addressing difficult topics when they arise. These conversations, while sometimes challenging, are approached with care and compassion, ensuring that you feel supported and never judged. My goal is to help you confront and work through these challenges at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

A key part of my practice is collaboration. Together, we regularly review your progress to ensure that we are moving in a direction that aligns with your goals and priorities. Your input is central to our work, and I adapt my approach to ensure it remains focused on what matters most to you.

With a focus on building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship, I aim to empower you to explore, grow, and make meaningful changes in your life. Whether you’re seeking clarity, relief, or personal growth, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My first session details

Your first session with me is all about creating a strong foundation for our work together. It’s an opportunity for us to begin building a trusting and collaborative relationship while ensuring that you feel safe, supported, and in professional hands.

During this session, I take the time to understand your needs, goals, and what has brought you to therapy. We will discuss and agree on a working agreement that outlines both of our responsibilities, helping to set clear expectations and boundaries for the therapeutic process.

I aim to establish a good working relationship by creating a comfortable and respectful space where you feel heard and understood. If it aligns with your preferences and goals, I can also conduct psychometric tests during the first session to provide deeper insights into your experiences and guide our work together.

This session is the first step on you becoming who you want to be, and my focus is on ensuring that you feel confident and empowered to move forward to who you want to become.
