About Jonathan

Jonathan Smith is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings six years of practice and combines that with prior experience in IT and his own family life. He aims to make starting therapy straightforward and to help people feel their decision to seek support is worthwhile.

Jonathan works with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, addictions and relationship problems.

Background and approach

He also helps people facing grief, trauma and issues around identity or intimacy. He listens with curiosity and without judgement, letting people name what matters most to them. In sessions Jonathan uses practical, down-to-earth approaches.

He draws on client-centred methods to follow the person’s lead. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness to build calm and focus. He treats the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative space.

That means setting goals together and checking in about what is and isn’t helpful. He aims to make conversations clear and to offer tools that people can use between sessions. Jonathan offers sessions by video, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Sessions run via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People who wish to begin choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a time that suits them.

Online support

Jonathan commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the person’s lead and offers empathic listening to help them make sense of their situation. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing small practical experiments to change patterns that contribute to low mood or anxiety. Mindfulness practice involves simple attention exercises to build calm and improve focus, which can help with rumination and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jonathan works collaboratively to agree goals and to review what helps, adapting methods to fit each person’s needs and preferences. He will discuss options and try different techniques until a workable plan is found.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which makes therapy flexible around work and family commitments. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat suits short check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options aim to make engaging in therapy more manageable and easier to fit into daily life.
