About me

My name's Jonathan Eddie and I live and work in St Albans. I'm a qualified integrative counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I offer individual and couples counselling in central St Albans and online.

My approach has a positive therapeutic relationship at its core. I want my clients to feel safe, cared-for and heard. I'll help them to explore the negative feelings and behaviours that are holding them back in life, and work towards them discovering that change really is possible. We'll look at how they relate to others, how their life experience has affected them, and what coping strategies are available to ease their burden.

I have a particular interest in couples therapy, which is a hugely valuable resource for those facing relationship challenges. Couples therapy focuses on addressing and resolving issues within partnerships. It provides a structured and supportive environment to work through difficulties, improve communication and strengthen bonds.
 
Prior to qualifying as a therapist, I spent many years working in the classical music industry. During that time I saw numerous colleagues suffer with the kind of issues that counselling really can help with - anxiety, depression, relationship issues, estrangement, anger, jealousy, low self-esteem, bereavement, addiction, to name but a few. It was this that inspired me to revisit my passion for psychology and to learn how I might help. 

Please get in touch or visit my website to discover how counselling can be a transformative experience for you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
