About Jonathan

Jonathan Stuart helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation, depression and coping with life changes. He works in a direct, conversational way and describes his approach as open and positive. Jonathan is registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

He uses a mix of talking therapies to suit the person in front of him. Sessions focus on what is happening now, and on practical steps a client can try between meetings. He works with thoughts and behaviours, and with personal meaning and life stories where that feels helpful.

Jonathan aims to be respectful and non-judgemental in sessions. He adjusts his conversational style and the structure of sessions to the needs of each client. That may include guided exercises, straightforward problem-solving or time to reflect on life events.

He has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and family issues, bereavement and grief, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting strain, addiction and compassion fatigue. He also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, autism and personality-related concerns.

On practical matters he describes a collaborative way of working. Clients and he agree goals and a way of checking progress. The approach is intended to be clear and manageable, with suggestions that can be practised between sessions.

How Jonathan uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's concerns at the heart of the work and focuses on listening and reflecting to help people understand what matters to them. It is useful for confidence, low mood and life-change conversations.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress and low mood and often includes tasks between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. That planning is collaborative and may shift as progress is reviewed.

Please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or caring responsibilities, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed or lower bandwidth options when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of approaches online and will adapt methods to the practicalities of remote meetings.
