About Jonathan
Counsellor and BACP member Jonathan Sedarati offers short- and longer-term talking therapy in the United Kingdom. He has seven years' experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy issues. Jonathan also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem concerns, ADHD and life changes.
Jonathan uses clear, practical conversation rather than one-size-fits-all advice. He listens to what is happening now and helps people decide what they want to change. Sessions focus on workable steps and real problems such as communication breakdowns, controlling behaviours, or struggles with drugs and alcohol.
His background includes seven years working with clients from different countries, which informs a direct, results-oriented style. He often addresses attachment issues, codependency and family of origin problems when they come up in sessions. Jonathan also helps people who are dealing with guilt, shame, isolation or infidelity.
People can expect straightforward discussion about goals, patterns and small experiments to try between sessions. He encourages commitment to the process while acknowledging that change can be hard.
Jonathan asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. That lets him focus the first meeting on practical priorities and an initial plan for moving forward.
Approaches used and how online counselling works
Jonathan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on current problems and practical change. One common approach is focused conversational work that helps identify unhelpful patterns and tries new ways of relating or behaving; this suits relationship difficulties, communication problems and codependency. Another approach addresses addictive behaviours by breaking down triggers and building alternative routines, which helps with drug and alcohol issues and other compulsive habits. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaborative process and may adjust the way he works as progress is made. The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments. They can make regular contact simpler, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to work with a registered or accredited professional from a different area or country, note that international clients are accepted and discuss practical arrangements in the first meeting.Areas of expertise
