About Jonathan
Jonathan Stuart is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He speaks plainly and offers a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk through what feels overwhelming. He works to tailor conversations to each person’s needs and aims to help them find clearer ways forward.
With four years of professional experience, Jonathan draws on several therapeutic ideas rather than a single method. He uses narrative approaches to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach
He also uses client-centred listening to make space for people’s priorities and CBT techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions are arranged around what the individual needs that week. Jonathan emphasises practical steps as well as emotional reflection, so sessions can include short exercises, goal-setting and guided questioning.
He keeps language plain and avoids jargon so conversations stay useful and direct. Jonathan values sensitivity, non-judgement and a warm, positive attitude. He aims to adapt pace and focus for each person, whether someone is coping with a recent life change or long-standing anxiety.
He supports people as they build confidence, manage relationships and face difficult transitions. He is registered with NCPS, works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session based on availability.

Online session options
How Jonathan’s approaches translate to online therapy
Jonathan uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This can be useful for identity concerns, low self-esteem and making sense of life changes. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy which means sessions start from the person’s priorities and rely on careful listening and empathy to guide progress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is another tool he uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice alternative ways of thinking and acting.Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. Jonathan works collaboratively to identify goals and tests which methods feel most helpful. He will adapt sessions over time, combining narrative reflection, empathetic listening and practical CBT tasks to match what each person needs and prefers.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for a longer, face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
