About Jonathan
Jonathan Barratt is a counsellor who helps people facing depression and related struggles. He presents a calm, respectful presence and aims to work at each person's pace. Sessions focus on listening, practical steps and clear goals rather than labels or judgement.
He uses straightforward methods to help people manage difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, in plain terms, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical coping strategies.
Background and approach
Client-centred work means conversations are led by what matters to the individual and the therapist follows their lead. Jonathan has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Before moving into this role he spent time supporting people in services for addiction and long-term care settings.
That background shapes a practical, steady style of counselling. In sessions he offers solution-focused ideas alongside motivational techniques to help people set and reach realistic goals. That can suit someone wanting short-term structure or a longer route through complex feelings.
He uses clear tools you can apply between meetings. People coming for help with depression, anxiety, stress, addiction or relationship concerns will find an approach that blends listening with action. Conversations are plain and outcomes are discussed together.
The emphasis is on what the person wants to change and the small steps that move them there.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan discusses options with each person and adapts methods to their goals and preferences. He will collaborate on a plan, try techniques together in sessions and adjust the focus as progress is reviewed.
Online formats make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when more visual interaction helps. Phone sessions can be a good choice when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or when writing helps someone organise their thoughts. These options offer flexibility so counselling can fit around work, family and travel schedules.
