Hi, I’m Jonathan. As a Clinical Psychologist I can help if you're struggling with stress, low mood, anxiety, panic, feelings of shame, low self‑esteem, and more. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of purpose, I provide a compassionate space to explore this and support you towards meaningful change. Whether you're navigating relationship difficulties, grappling with identity, sexuality, or aspects of neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism - we can work to make sense and overcome issues. As a foster carer, I also bring unique insight into the emotional impact of fostering and adoption.

While we all deserve to have a life that we feel secure in and a future that we can look forward to, in reality there are times when this simply isn't the case. It might be that we look for help with overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression, or a little nagging voice at the back of the mind that says that now is the right time to talk to someone.  Or perhaps something quite clear and traumatic has happened. Working together, therapy can become a way of finding the words to make sense of confusing experiences.

Communication difficulties and breakdowns in our relationships can occur for many different reasons. When they occur, partners, children or indeed the family or even friends might be affected and become involved in some way, and this has a knock-on effect on us as well as others. Changes in family life, whether in somebody’s physical health, their relationships, or in children's behaviour, can be effectively addressed in family therapy. I adopt a non-blaming, collaborative approach to working with clients to find ways of moving forwards in life when feeling stuck. Children and adults are included, either together or individually.

You may feel weighed down by past experiences, anxious or low, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift. Perhaps you’ve tried coping on your own or even had therapy before, but something still feels unresolved. You might struggle in relationships, feel disconnected. My clients are those who long to understand themselves more deeply, heal from the past, and create calmer, more fulfilling lives.

Parenting can be one of life’s greatest joys, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and full of guilt or self-doubt. I work with parents who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more confident in their decisions, and more connected to their children and themselves.

I am BACP registered, fully insured and Authorised by Aviva, AXA-PPP & BUPA.
I am very mindful of how difficult finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with can be and I offer a calm and compassionate approach, while we gain an understanding of your concerns. My primary therapeutic method is ‘psychodynamic’ but I draw on a variety of ‘models’ to help in whichever way is appropriate: These may include CBT or EFT. Once we have revealed, talked-through and understood the root causes of your concerns we can examine ways of dealing with the issues and moving forward. This is a very much a joint effort where we work together to help you through the troublesome episode and out the other side.

Is your child or young person struggling emotionally? Are they shut down and difficult to reach? Do they seem to have lost some of their spark, energy or joy for life? They might be isolating in their room, resisting going out or refusing to attend school. They might be very anxious, rigid, controlling or unable to cope with any of the expectations placed on them. Do you sometimes feel like you walk on eggshells around them, trying to avoid triggering conflict, unsure whether they’ll be angry and reactive, low and tearful or just numb? Do you feel like you have no real idea what is causing their distress let alone how to help them?

Life is so beautiful, and life is so hard. Maybe, for you, it feels especially hard right now. On the outside, you might appear fine, but inside, you’re overwhelmed. Anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt could be holding you back, making it hard to focus or set goals. Sleep may feel impossible, leaving you exhausted and unmotivated. You want clarity, calm, and to reconnect with what matters most. You’re ready for change, even if you’re unsure where to start.

Do you struggle with your emotions? Do you find yourself feeling moody and irritable? Maybe you are battling with high levels of anxiety that is ruining your life. Maybe you’re feeling sad and depressed robbing you of enjoyment in your life. Do you experience a range of intense emotions in a short space of time and slow to get back to “normal”? Do you end up having angry outbursts then feel full of regret afterwards? Do your relationships suffer as a result of intense emotions? Have you developed coping strategies that whilst in the moment might help but longer term are causing additional issues?

Emotion can be overwhelming. You may feel pressure to change or feel unable to be true to yourself. Sometimes, past experiences can pull you down. You may feel shame or guilt, or feel completely lost. How would you feel if I told you that it is ok not to be ok, that your feelings are important and what you want from life matters? I work with people from all walks of life and I have had the privilege to witness the positive transformation and resilience that people have. You are not alone and I know change is possible.
