Background and approach
Conversations are kept simple and goal-oriented so progress can be noticed between meetings. Jonathan has worked specifically with people dealing with depression and bereavement. He also helps those coping with transitions such as separation or shifts in life purpose.
Additional areas of focus include stress related to caregiving, loneliness, guilt and shame, and issues around sexuality and gender identity. His approach involves teamwork with the person seeking help. Jonathan listens first, then suggests small, practical steps to try.
He reviews what works and adjusts the plan as needed. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats to fit different needs. People can expect straightforward guidance, steady support, and a focus on clear, usable strategies to help them move forward.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Jonathan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach he uses helps people learn simple coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing work, activity planning and small behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance. These techniques aim to lower immediate distress and build confidence in daily routines.For grief and depression he applies approaches that help people process loss and re-establish meaningful routines. This can involve paced steps to re-engage with valued activities, reviewing thought patterns that deepen low mood, and trying small, manageable changes to restore energy and interest.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan listens to each person’s history, goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something is not helping so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, notes between sessions or for those who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and family life.
