About me
Welcome,
My name is Jonathan and I am an experienced integrative counsellor and I am also a relational supervisor.
Do you worry about things going wrong in your day to day life and it stops you from making decisions causing you to feel anxious or have panic attacks. I offer therapy and I can help you to feel grounded again and regain control of your life.
I predominantly draw from a person-centred approach and framework where you as the client are the centre of the therapy. Further, together we will work on recognising your personal strengths to help you regain a sense of control in your life.
I have many years experience as a counsellor and supervisor with several different charitable organisations and my main work place is at my private practice based in Coalpit Heath, north Bristol. I am currently offering counselling and supervision digitally via video apps such as FaceTime, Google, Microsoft and Skype.
I offer an open and warm environment for all of my clients and supervisees were we can build a trusting working relationship.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics and conduct. I also, hold full professional indemnity and personal liability insurance.
Supervision
You may be looking for a new supervisor for your client work as a counsellor/psychotherapist. I am an experienced relational supervisor, and as your supervisor I will fully support your personal and professional development.
I have an open and honest approach to supervision, and I will encourage you to be open in your supervision work with me.
Together we will look at your therapeutic client work and your own personal growth as a counsellor. I offer concessions for trainee counsellors/psychotherapists.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
