About Jonathan

Jonathan Smith is a BACP member therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of counselling experience. He combines professional therapeutic training with a background in IT and personal family experience to support people facing a wide range of challenges. Jonathan works with addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, issues around personal and sexual identity, parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with intimacy, eating, sleeping, anger, and self-esteem. He also supports clients dealing with career transitions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and other life changes.

Jonathan practices from a collaborative, client-centered stance, aiming to build an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. He uses practical, goal-oriented methods to help people make changes in their personal lives and careers while honouring each person’s choice to invest in themselves. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he follows recognised professional standards and a respectful, empathetic way of working.

Whether someone is seeking short-term focused change or deeper exploration of long-standing issues, Jonathan tailors his approach to each person’s needs and preferences, encouraging progress with compassion and practical support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jonathan draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective leads the process; it helps people explore feelings, strengthen self-understanding, and build confidence to make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses a practical, structured approach to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop new coping strategies - it is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many problem patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jonathan works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time so the therapy remains helpful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or elsewhere, support continuity during busy periods, and allow people to engage in a way that feels most comfortable for them.
