About Jonathan
Counsellor Jonathan Koleosho is a member of the BACP with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Jonathan also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, LGBT concerns and self-esteem problems.
He uses straightforward talking therapy techniques to help people make sense of what they are going through. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps they want to try. Jonathan draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address patterns of thought and behaviour.
He also brings psychodynamic ideas into the room to look at how past experiences can affect present feelings. That mix allows him to shift between immediate coping tools and deeper reflection. Sessions typically involve listening, reflection and gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking.
Jonathan aims to create an open environment where people can speak without fear of judgement. He encourages clear goals and regular review so progress can be noticed and adjusted. People who prefer a candid, thoughtful style of counselling may find his way of working helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client clarify their feelings and priorities. This approach often helps with self-esteem, relationship worries and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and some addiction-related behaviours.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. It can help someone understand repeated patterns in relationships or emotional responses that feel hard to shift.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and offer flexible timings. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions without a camera if that suits the client better.
