Do you find yourself thinking that you've not done well in some way or worry that you might fail? Do you get upset because others don't treat you well? Do you wish that life would just treat you a little better? If so, then I may be able to help.

Hi there, I'm Jon and I offer confidential one-to-one counselling in Barnsley. I'm a qualified therapist with experience of dealing with a range of mental health problems - these include panic/anxiety, relationship issues (paranoia, jealousy and rage etc), depression and stress.

My approach is largely Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). I tailor this to the needs and goals of the client. The University of Birmingham provided my REBT training which is accredited by The Albert Ellis Institute, New York.

I aim to develop relationships whereby clients feel comfortable and trusting in what I do. Once achieved, this can lead to effective therapy that gets to the core of many common psychological problems. My hope is that clients become empowered to live less distressing, more satisfying lives. In REBT we try to give the client the skills and theory to become effective self-therapists when future problems occur.

I offer appointments in person and online via video call.

Initial session: £25 (non-full therapy session) to assess suitability and mutual interest in working together. Regular therapy appointments: £40 for up to 50 minutes.

Number of appointments determined by your counselling goals, to be discussed in the first session.

Flexible counselling options available for both short and long term needs.

Payment via bank transfer or cash required before each session.
