About Jonathan

Jonathan Koleosho is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also supports those dealing with addictions and concerns about intimacy and self-esteem.

He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as making room for emotion.

How Jonathan works

Jonathan encourages small, realistic changes that fit everyday life. His background includes using client-centred work to understand what matters most to each person. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours.

Psychodynamic ideas are used when it helps to look at patterns that repeat over time. Jonathan pays attention to issues often linked together, such as relationship stress, grief, eating or obsessive thoughts. He also supports people facing prejudice, sexual assault and sexual difficulties, and those navigating LGBT concerns.

Sessions are held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes fitting therapy around life easier. New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and choosing a time to meet. Jonathan works collaboratively to set goals and check progress along the way.

Approaches in online therapy and what they do

Jonathan uses client-centred work to focus on what matters most to the person. This approach involves listening without judgement and helping clients find their own answers to difficult problems. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to feel heard and understood.

He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Jonathan treats it as a collaboration. He will discuss different options and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals, needs and comfort. That plan can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them best. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be easier for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, study or caring responsibilities while keeping continuity of support.
