Jonathan Wright

I have private practice availability for online (Zoom) sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

Hi there, I'm Jonathan. I work with a range of clients who want to understand and reduce feelings of anxiety, panic, and depression, or who may be struggling with aspects of their lives, past or present.

I've been in private practice since 2019 and I qualified at an NHS training institute accredited by the BACP. The way we'll work is often a mix of:

- Practical stuff - understanding what's happening in the body and nervous system, and learning to manage that with simple techniques

- Understanding yourself - why this might be happening (often connected to past experiences) and working through that as necessary

- Emotional support - analysis and intellectual comprehension are great but often some healing and repair is required 'below the neck', which is something we can do through gentle, supportive exploration of your feelings and emotions

- Encouraging your autonomy - a somewhat existential approach involving you taking full responsibility for your choices from this point on, without judgement from me, and leading to increased acceptance of yourself.

(A more technical summary would be a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive and humanistic approaches, in an overarching relational framework.)

While I do offer face to face sessions I don’t currently offer them in Sidcup. There is encouraging data emerging supporting the effectiveness of video therapy and I would encourage you to consider it, since the cost is lower and it is often convenient.

Therapy and counselling is a wonderful opportunity to improve the quality of your life and how you feel. Change really is possible and I look forward to working with you.

I'm pretty friendly and easy going, but maintain firm boundaries and will be caring and direct with you. No topics are off-limits and I welcome clients of all genders, ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. 

We’ll discuss what’s currently going on for you, outline confidentiality and how well work together, and if you’d like to continue, arrange a time for weekly sessions. 

My Hythe & Folkestone private practice is Monday-Tuesday, and I am offering both face to face and online sessions.

Since the Covid-19 disruption I offer video call sessions over Zoom in addition to some face to face sessions. There is encouraging data emerging supporting the effectiveness of video therapy and I would encourage you to consider it, since the cost is lower and it is often convenient.

Your first session will give you an opportunity to let me know a bit about what's going on. We'll also cover administrative things, you can obviously ask any questions you may have, and overall this is an opportunity for you to check that I'm the right counsellor for you. There's no obligation to continue, no minimum number of sessions.

I have private practice availability for online (Zoom) sessions on Monday and Tuesday. Please get in touch to discuss a time for and initial session.
