About Jonathan
Jonathan Barratt offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or low mood. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. Jonathan uses clear techniques to help people manage difficult emotions and work toward practical goals.
He draws on client-centred ideas to put the person’s experience first and build trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to look at patterns of thought and behaviour and to try small changes that can make a difference.
Background and approach
He also uses solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to help people set and reach short-term goals. Jonathan has five years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has worked in addiction services and has supported people dealing with dependency and its effects.
That background shapes a straightforward approach to relapse prevention and coping strategies. Sessions are offered in a respectful, non-judgemental style. Jonathan aims to move at each person’s pace and to agree practical steps together.
He is comfortable helping with topics such as grief, trauma, relationship concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and workplace stress. People can expect short-term, goal-led work or longer conversation-focused therapy depending on what they need. Jonathan accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally, and he offers a range of online session formats to fit different schedules.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try small, practical changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and difficulties with daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods to fit each person. That collaborative decision helps focus sessions on what the person wants to change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, coaching-style work or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
