About Jonathan

Jonathan Sedarati meets people who want things to feel different. He opens sessions by asking what feels off and helps clients set clear, practical goals. He writes plainly and focuses on making steady progress rather than offering quick fixes. Jon works with stress, anxiety, depression and a range of relationship and life concerns. He also supports people dealing with addiction, eating and food-related issues, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Sessions are aimed at achievable change, whether that means improving communication, reducing substance use, or building confidence. He has seven years of experience as a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom. That background means he is familiar with common difficulties people face and how to tailor an approach to each person. He does not give one-size-fits-all advice or moral lectures. In sessions Jon helps clients identify patterns that hold them back and practises new ways of responding. Work may include talking through past relationships, addressing family of origin issues, or finding steps to manage cravings or compulsive behaviours. He emphasises effort and commitment, and he invites clients to try different strategies until something fits. People who choose Jon should expect direct, practical sessions with a focus on real-world results. Change often takes time, and he is clear about that from the start. If someone is ready to put in the work, he aims to guide them toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.

How Jonathan uses evidence-based methods online

Jonathan describes his practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practise small, manageable changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Another approach concentrates on relationships and attachment patterns, looking at how past connections shape current reactions and teaching new ways to relate that improve intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which suits their goals, needs and preferences. He treats the process as collaborative and adjusts the plan when something is not working.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular sessions. Online discussions can also be shorter check-ins when needed, or longer work sessions when tackling deeper issues, depending on what the therapist and client agree will help most.
