About me
You’re starting to feel the cost of always putting others first.
That can show up as second-guessing yourself, holding things in, or finding it difficult to say what you need. Over time, it becomes tiring — and harder to keep pushing past.
You may notice it’s difficult to say no, or that you worry about upsetting others. You might find yourself trying to keep things steady in your relationships, even when something doesn’t feel right. Changing that can feel complicated, especially when it brings up guilt or self-doubt.
Often, these patterns have roots in earlier relationships where feeling heard, supported, or safe wasn’t consistent. What helped you manage at the time can continue long after, shaping how you relate to yourself and others now.
In our work together, we take time to understand how these patterns developed and how they show up for you. From there, we begin to make space for you — to reconnect with your needs, build self-trust, and find ways of expressing yourself that feel clearer and more your own.
This isn’t about forcing change. It’s about creating the conditions where something different can begin to emerge, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
I offer a calm, attentive space where your experience is taken seriously. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting — we can take this one step at a time.
People often come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low in confidence, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. I work with a range of experiences including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, neurodivergence, stress, and the lasting impact of earlier life experiences.
If you want to get a sense of how working together feels, I offer a free 30-minute introductory session.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
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.

Some clients have shared the following about their experience of working with me:
“I feel calmer, stronger and more able to cope. I have found my experience profoundly transformative. When I first came, I was incredibly stressed, overwhelmed and anxious. Over time, sharing my story regularly helped me gain a healthier perspective and move to a much better place.”
“When I first came, I was desperate for someone to talk to and to get some perspective on my situation. I got what I wanted and a great deal more.”
“In comparison to previous counselling, this felt very different. I was able to better understand myself, uncover deeper problems, and improve my relationships, decision-making and day-to-day functioning.”
“I felt very comfortable with Jonathan, even when discussing difficult or personal topics. I was in a very dark place when we first met, and being able to talk openly and work through things has made a significant difference to my wellbeing.”
