COUNSELLING - BATH & ONLINE
“THE CURIOUS PARADOX IS THAT WHEN I ACCEPT MYSELF JUST AS I AM, ONLY THEN I CAN CHANGE”
Carl Rogers
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Jonathan, a Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Bath, UK, with over 15 years’ experience in the social sector. My background includes youth work, homelessness services, community support, and eight years within a Children and Youth Mental Health charity. I now work across a local counselling charity alongside my private practice.
I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, especially when life feels complex or overwhelming. My approach is integrative and grounded in person-centred therapy, drawing on a range of models to support your individual needs, which are outlined below.
I have a particular interest in men’s mental health, working with challenges such as anger, shame, emotional pain, and recurring patterns of behaviour.
Living with a chronic physical illness has shaped my perspective and deepened my understanding of long-term health challenges. This is an area I care deeply about and welcome into my work.
I aim to offer a warm, respectful space where we can work together towards greater clarity, resilience, and a sense of peace.

My Approach
A Person-Centred Collaborative and Integrative Approach
Fundamentally I hold myself as a person centred therapist, however with an integrative approach. This allows me to bring in aspects of other approaches which I believe may help the client.
My approach is collaborative tailoring my method to meet the needs of the client rather than expecting you to fit a certain approach or method.
Person Centred
focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their feelings and develop self-awareness to reach their full potential
Approaches I Draw On
Psychodynamic
looking at how unconscious thoughts and early childhood experiences influence a person’s behaviour and emotions today.
Gestalt
focuses on helping people become aware of their present thoughts, feelings, and actions to better understand themselves
CBT
focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to improve emotions and well-being
Attachment Theory
explains how early relationships with caregivers shape a person’s emotional bonds and relationships later in life.
IFS
approach that views the mind as made up of different parts that interact, aiming to bring them into balance and healing.
Pricing
I offer three different lengths of sessions depending on your capacity and what you are looking for.
Short
25 minute sessions at £30
Originally created for those with health conditions or the capacity that cannot manage a standard session. Open to all.
Standard
50 minute session at £60
50 minutes is the standard time often offered for a single counselling session and is often the most popular.
Extended
75 minute sessions at £90
Designed for those who want to explore a particular issue in depth when 50 minutes doesn’t feel enough. Can be helpful in the early stages, allowing space to share everything you need.
Cancellations Policy
48 hours notice before the beginning of the session is required if you need to cancel, notice received less than 48 hours before the session will result in you being charged for the session unless another appointment can be scheduled within the same week.
