Jonathan Smith

Life can be hard, and sometimes you need a place to figure things out. Therapy can be that place; a place where you can feel heard and met with care and respect, a safe place where you can heal and grow towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I offer a safe and non-judgemental environment, in which you can explore your feelings and experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. I take a holistic approach to help you discover yourself, your life, and your place in the world. Working alongside you, I support you in facing life’s challenges, healing from past pain and discovering new possibilities.

As both a professional therapist and a human being, my training and lived experience have enabled me to understand and work empathically with a wide range of issues, including all Addictions; Depression; Anxiety; Adverse Childhood Experiences; Abuse; Relational Trauma; Anger; Narcissistic Abuse; Low Self-Esteem; Abandonment Issues; Bereavement and Loss; Relationship Issues; and Family Issues.

I use a flexible therapeutic style, which respects your individuality, adapting my methods according to your unique needs. I draw upon a variety of approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory and Transpersonal Psychology, to create a personalised therapy specific to you. I offer both long-term work for exploring issues in depth and short-term counselling for tackling specific concerns.

I am fully insured and a registered member of BACP. I attend regular clinical supervision and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I am available to work with in-person and online.
