About Jonathan
Jonathan Sibbring is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing anxiety, stress and life changes. He is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) member and brings 15 years of experience to his practice. He keeps sessions simple and practical.
He listens first, then helps people find their own solutions. He believes clients are the experts in their own lives and that small shifts build real change.
Background and approach
Jonathan has worked in both independent practice and within the NHS, and he has also taught as a guest lecturer at a UK university. That mix of front-line and teaching work informs a steady, down-to-earth style. He supports people with depression, grief, relationship worries and LGBT-related concerns.
He also works with issues such as adoption and foster care, cancer, HIV/AIDs, sexual assault and abuse, and communication problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Jonathan draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and strong feelings are central to the problem.
He tailors each session to what the person needs that week, whether that is pace, reflection or action. People who choose him can expect a collaborative, respectful approach. He aims to help clients feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope with change and uncertainty.
Client-centred and emotionally-focused help online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a respectful, paced space to make sense of feelings and choices.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on how emotions shape close relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name strong feelings, understand how they affect actions, and try new ways of connecting or responding. EFT is useful when relationship concerns or recurring emotional reactions are a core part of the difficulty.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide what to try first. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging can be easier for gradual reflection over time. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and family commitments.
