About Jonathan
Jonathan Sibbring is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties and LGBT-related concerns, and helps those coping with major life changes and ongoing stress.
He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person's experience. That approach means he listens for what matters most to the client and follows their pace. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are central to the difficulty.
Sessions are conversational and direct. Jonathan encourages people to identify practical steps they can try between sessions. He treats feelings like information to work with rather than obstacles to avoid. This can help when people are unsure what matters next after a change in work, health or relationships.
Jonathan has worked both privately and within NHS services and has experience as a Lead Counsellor. He also lectures at a UK university, which keeps his practice connected to current thinking and training. His background means he is used to supporting clients with complex losses and with navigating identity questions.
People who want clear, straightforward support often find his style useful. He asks questions that aim to clarify patterns and options. If you want help thinking through what comes next, he offers a steady, practical way to do that.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can notice their own priorities and choices. It helps with feeling stuck, low mood and questions about life purpose by giving space to sort thoughts and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns of emotional interaction and attachment. EFT is useful when relationship issues or repeated emotional reactions are making daily life harder.Deciding on an approach is collaborative. Jonathan will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. They review progress together and adapt the way they work if something feels off or unhelpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. It can also make it easier to choose a quieter time or to avoid being on camera when preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep continuity of care when circumstances change, and Jonathan will discuss practical arrangements and what to expect in the first meeting.
