Jonathan Barratt is a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, offering compassionate and practical support for people facing a range of difficulties.
He is trained in the person-centred approach and in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), blending these methods with solution-focused and goal-oriented techniques to help clients identify goals and develop coping strategies.
Jonathan has 5 years of experience providing therapy services and has worked for over 14 years within the NHS. He has particular experience in addiction services and supporting people affected by the disease of addiction.
He aims to create a kind, respectful and non-judgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace. He believes that speaking openly with another person can support personal growth and healing.
Jonathan works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, depression, LGBT-related issues, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career challenges, bipolar, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue and ADHD. He is a gay, male therapist and describes himself as non-religious and liberal in outlook.
Many people ask whether online therapy can really help. For common issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the way of connecting that suits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if someone feels a different approach or style would suit them better they can switch therapists at any time. For many people, remote counselling provides an accessible and effective way to get support for everyday mental health concerns.
