About Jonathan

Jonathan Barratt is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. He works with people dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy. Jonathan is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he brings five years of counselling experience to his practice.

He uses clear, goal-focused methods when that suits the client. That can mean setting small, practical steps to reduce anxiety or using simple cognitive tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

He also offers client-centred work that puts the person's experience and pace at the heart of sessions. Jonathan has prior experience in addiction services and supporting people affected by addictive behaviours. He combines that background with short-term, solution-focused techniques to help people find ways forward.

Sessions are delivered with respect and without judgement, and the tone is friendly and straightforward. People can expect a mixture of conversational listening and practical exercises. Sessions may include coping strategies for sleep, eating, mood or stress, and help with issues such as ADHD, burnout and career strain.

Jonathan aims to work at each person's pace and to focus on usable steps rather than abstract theory. He provides online support in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The practice uses a subscription model that clients can cancel at any time, and sessions are offered in several formats to fit different needs.

Ways of working Jonathan names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Jonathan uses practical approaches online

Jonathan combines client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in ways that suit each person. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the client’s pace to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving; this can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and some patterns connected to addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a mix of listening and practical tasks. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant to the person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to give flexibility and to help people access therapy from different places and routines.
