More about Jonathan
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I am trained in the person centered approach and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have over 14 years of working within the NHS and I take pride in offering support to other people. I have experience working within addiction services and supporting people who suffer from the disease of addiction. I offer a kind and respectful therapeutic environment to allow a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions. I believe that speaking openly to another person can be a valuable and rewarding experience and can allow for personal growth and healing. I aim to work at your pace and offer a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment to explore your thoughts and feelings. I offer solution-focused therapy and goal-orientated-focused therapy using CBT tools, techniques and coping strategies.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jonathans kind and patient personality made me feel incredibly safe to open up. Step by step we work through my challenges as soon as I am ready to make the next step. He encourages me greatly to keep on going and better myself. I am very thankful for him.
Jonathan is a wonderful listener and provides great feedback when that's what I'm looking for. He is very kind, gentle, and professional.
Especially in a time where it is hard to get a therapy place in Germany is better help a good alternative to still get the much needed tharapy.
Jonathan has been a great help; I was sceptical about therapy and felt like it wasn't for me. After being pushed by my partner, I decided to try it. I can honestly say it's been a step worth taking. Committing 30-45 minutes each week to discuss how I'm feeling and putting all my thoughts in 1 place has been a fantastic way to manage my stress and cope with what appeared to be 'burnout'. Jonathan has supported me through this journey with a friendly smile and a little banter here and there. I would highly recommend therapy, BetterHelp and Jonathan !
Great listener who has really facilitated me to get on top of my negative thoughts and feelings
Jonathan is an amazing counsellor and has been a tremendous help to me over the last year. I would highly recommend him
Jonathan is a very understanding therapist that helps me overcome difficult times and become the best version of myself. I would highly recommend him.
A good man.
I feel very calm and contented after each session with Jonathan. He is very professional and helps me reason out my chaotic thoughts. I am always looking forward to my next session.
I have had one session with Jonathan so far and although we haven't spoken many times at this point I am very keen to continue with him! I really feel I will make great progress in our coming sessions.
Excellent listener and really helped me explore my thoughts. Also gave me lots of practical advice so I could follow up and help myself. Would highly recommend.
Jonathan is understanding and calm and gives me ample time to flesh out my thoughts and talk about them.
Jonathan really listens to me and I feel really comfortable and at ease with him. Therapy has really helped me process my worries and clear my mind.
