About me
In-person and hybrid therapy in London and online sessions across the UK. My pronouns are he/him. I see people in-person in Dartmouth Park near Archway N19.
I am a warm, intuitive and collaborative therapist, increasingly working with millennial and Gen Z clients helping them find a route through their challenges that is right for them.
As a therapist, I specialise in:
- Life transitions (such as parenthood, career change, end of relationship or bereavement)
- Low self esteem and self worth
- Loss of meaning and purpose
- Feeling stuck (in patterns of depression, anxiety or low self worth, with shame and traumatic memories, in life, career, or relationships)
- The specific challenges of those working in the arts, creative industries and other talent-led fields (particularly perfectionism, stress, and burnout)
In addition, I can support you with: stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, shame, trauma and relationship issues.
My approach is attentive, calm and transparent, always led by you and your agenda as we unpack the difficulties you are facing. Ultimately, I see our working together as a robust, collaborative dialogue about your situation – a quest we’re on together, through the challenges you’re facing towards a more meaningful life.
By working in a warm, intuitive and collaborative way I help you to discover your own way forward and gain a fresh perspective.
Further details can be found on my website www.jonathan-humphreys.com, there is a link at the top of the page.
My private therapy room is at Archway Studios, London N19, within easy reach of Finsbury Park, Crouch End, Tufnell Park, Kentish Town and Gospel Oak.
Getting started
A good working relationship is at the heart of successful therapy and a key indicator of a successful outcome. It is therefore important for you to find the right match, someone you feel comfortable talking to. I offer a free phone consultation to start the process, which can be booked directly my website or on Counselling Directory. Before this, I will send you a copy of my practice information document which has full practical details about the service I offer.
In the initial phone call I will be interested to know about:
- The issues that have led you to seek support now.
- Any previous experience you have had of counselling or therapy - what has or hasn't been helpful?
- What you are looking for from a counsellor and counselling sessions at this time.
- General questions about health & wellbeing and current support.
- You can ask me anything which is of importance to you in deciding whether you wish to proceed with me.
If after this initial conversation we both agree there is a good possibility that I can offer the support you need, I will suggest that we meet for a full initial session in which we can speak in more detail.
If I do not feel I am the right person to offer you counselling either after our phone call or the initial session I may offer suggestions for alternative referral information or recommendations.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked therapeutically with diverse client groups aged 18 - 70+ on issues including anxiety, depression, low self-worth, critical voice, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, bereavement, social anxiety, burnout, questions of meaning or purpose and major life transitions (such as illness, career change or parenthood).
I have counselled young adults in further and higher education as well as working at St Joseph's Hospice Hackney where I saw clients within the bereavement service for City and Hackney. In addition to counselling clients, I train counsellors.
As a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, registered member 400768) I am bound by a strict code of ethics to ensure my clients are kept safe.

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.
