About Jonathan
He helps people who are feeling stressed or anxious to find ways to cope day to day. He also supports those working through addiction, past trauma and abuse, and depression. Eating and food-related issues are among the areas he pays attention to alongside relationship concerns and intimacy-related struggles.
Jonathan uses a blend of approaches to meet individual needs. He draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. He also uses cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating life patterns.
Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear, manageable steps. Jonathan encourages honest dialogue and helps people set realistic goals for change. He aims to balance short-term strategies with deeper reflection when that feels helpful.
People come for help with self-esteem, grief, LGBT-related concerns, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, personality difficulties, and sexual assault and abuse. He also offers support around young adult issues and prejudice or discrimination, and will work collaboratively to decide what to tackle first.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their priorities, giving them space to speak and be heard while the counsellor reflects and follows their lead. This approach helps people who need acceptance and a place to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical techniques to test and change unhelpful habits. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, compulsive behaviours and some eating-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will work collaboratively to agree which methods suit the client's goals, needs and preferences and may blend ideas as therapy progresses. The choice of tools and pace is shaped by what the person wants to achieve.
The profile does not state which online formats are available, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend from different locations. Others choose shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations to suit work breaks or lower bandwidth. These practical advantages can make regular work on concerns like anxiety, eating issues, grief or addiction easier to sustain.
