About me and my therapy practice
Hello there, I'm Jonathan. As your counsellor my aim is to provide a non-judgemental, confidential and empathic space where you can explore any aspect of your life you wish to bring to counselling.
Practice description
I am a fully qualified "pluralistic" counsellor. This means I will tailor my approach to best suit your needs by drawing upon techniques from multiple disciplines of counselling. These include Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, and more. In action, this would mean checking in every few sessions to see what is working for you, whether you would like to shift focus and which interventions you have found most helpful.
My first session
I offer a free half-hour introductory session where we will discuss: which issues have led you to seeking support, your experience of counselling/therapy in the past (to establish what may be helpful), how my sessions normally work, our availability and also any questions you may have.
