About Jonathan
Jonathan Barratt is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and a wide range of life concerns. He works with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related worries, and ADHD. Jonathan is a member of the BACP which appears after his name as BACP. He practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
Jonathan uses straightforward, goal-focused work alongside person-centred listening. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes. He also uses solution-focused and motivational approaches when people want short-term goals or support making changes.
He has professional experience in addiction services and has worked in health settings. That background informs his approach to addictive behaviours and supporting people through recovery and relapses. Jonathan aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space and to move at each person's pace.
Sessions typically combine listening with practical tasks such as coping strategies and short homework ideas. He encourages clear, achievable steps so progress can be tracked. The emphasis is on working collaboratively towards goals that matter to the person in front of him.

How Jonathan combines practical therapy and online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person and their experience. It involves listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions, which suits issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses simple experiments and coping strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jonathan works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and he adjusts the mix as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting short sessions around work or family life. Online sessions can make it simpler to attend when travel is difficult or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Because the profile does not list specific formats, confirm available session types before booking so you know how sessions will be run.
