About Jonathan
Jonathan Wilkes works from a client-centred base, blending practical talking therapy with structured approaches when useful. He draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and trauma. Jonathan adapts his style to each person and aims to make sessions straightforward and welcoming.
He has four years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy and earlier roles supporting adults and young people with complex mental health needs.
Background and approach
That background informs his understanding of issues like addiction, eating concerns, anger and emotional dysregulation. He also supports people dealing with grief, career worries, life changes and compassion fatigue. Jonathan works with a wide range of personal themes including attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
He uses solution-focused and somatic ideas alongside mindfulness to help clients build coping skills and notice how thoughts and the body interact. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats. He describes his therapeutic stance as warm and accepting, emphasising listening and a steady therapeutic relationship that grows over time.
In practical terms Jonathan encourages emotional expression and careful pacing. He meets people where they are and works at their speed, aiming to create space to understand early experiences and how those shape day-to-day feelings and behaviours. People who choose to work with him can expect calm, simple guidance focused on real-life steps and steady exploration rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as sessions progress. That means sessions can be exploratory at first and more skills-focused later if that suits the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
