Jonathan Richardson

Hey,

It can be pretty confusing searching these directories for help can’t it? There can be a lot of jargon and psychobabble about modalities and approaches.

I'm Jonathan, a counsellor working with and within the LGBTQ+ Community. As a gay man I have always appreciated the space counselling has offered me to find my place in the world and hope I can provide the same for others.

I don’t yet know what has brought you to look for help, it must be really hard to reach this point, but I hope you can know that beginning this search is the most important step, and I’d like, if you feel we’d be a good fit, to hear about what is difficult about your life right now.

What will counselling with me be like?

I work with thoughts, feelings, the sensations in your body - I’m going to ask you about all of these a lot. I work with the imagination, because you have one, even if you are so creative you have convinced yourself you don’t - so I will be asking you to see and feel whats going on in your minds eye. Above all, I work with the relationship we will be building. I believe that how we will be together in the therapy space will hold the pattern of how you might be in relationships in your life. So we can then explore how things can be different. I work with patience, kindness, humour and care.

Will counselling with you work?

Counselling and talking therapy always make something change - something I have witnessed in all of my clients. While it might feel there is no clear path to change what you need, I know that this journey into the unknown, and the faith that it will make a difference, will help you, will come from the bravery and work you put into a therapeutic process. 

My Approach: Deeper Than Talk Therapy

I believe you are more than a list of symptoms or a diagnosis. My approach is built on genuine, collaborative conversation where you are truly heard.

My core training is in Psychosynthesis, a form of therapy that doesn't just focus on relieving distress but also on connecting you to your strengths and potential. This means we work on your current challenges while also exploring a deeper sense of meaning and direction for your life.

I am warm, empathetic, and here to help you tap into your own inner resources. I won't give you the answers, but I will help you find the ones that feel right for you.
