About Jon

He holds NCPS accreditation, which appears with his name as a professional credential. Jon uses a straightforward, conversational style. Sessions mix listening with gentle challenge when needed.
How Jon works
He aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what matters and decide practical next steps. His approach draws on several well-established methods. He uses client-centred work to follow the person’s lead and build trust.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping strategies. Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at repeating patterns and how early relationships shape present problems. Jon has nine years of experience and keeps his practice flexible.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
Therapy is provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location and therapist availability.

How Jon's approaches translate to online therapy
Jon uses client-centred work to follow each person's priorities and help them feel heard. This approach focuses on building trust and letting the client guide the conversation, which fits well with one-to-one video or phone sessions where space to talk matters.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and to practise new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT tends to work well for specific problems like sleep issues, anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes because it gives practical tools to use between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jon will work with clients to decide whether more exploratory, attachment or psychodynamic work is needed, or whether a solution-focused CBT emphasis is preferable. This is a collaborative decision based on the person's goals and what feels most useful.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people have a near face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier to fit into a work break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to maintain continuity while working on goals together with a registered or accredited professional.
