Jonathan Wilkes uses a client-centred approach to help people move through difficult feelings and life events. He combines practical methods with attentive listening to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Jonathan works in straightforward language and aims to create a calm, respectful space for conversations to unfold.

He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Dialectical behaviour techniques and mindfulness practices are woven in when emotional regulation or intense moods are an issue.

Background and approach

Solution-focused work helps people find small, achievable steps when they want quicker practical change. Jonathan has four years' experience working in counselling and psychotherapy settings, plus earlier roles supporting adults and young people with complex mental health needs. He brings that background to sessions, offering clear ways to manage anger, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and life transitions.

He also helps with issues like body image, codependency and feelings of emptiness. Sessions are offered online in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Jonathan encourages people to go at their own pace and to express emotions as they arise in sessions.

He will work collaboratively to build trust and to explore underlying patterns such as attachment and abandonment wounds, helping clients find more helpful ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Jonathan’s approaches work online

Jonathan integrates client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour elements to support people online. Client-centred work means the conversation is led by the person seeking help, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree on a flexible plan. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge, so the work stays relevant to the person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life. Video calls are useful for more conversational work and face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving or when travel would be difficult.
