Jonathan Stuart, NCPS

Jonathan Stuart is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He works with those dealing with life changes, motivation and confidence. He aims to offer a calm, respectful space and a non-judgemental attitude for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

He tends to shape sessions around each person's needs, listening first and adapting the conversation to what matters most. His approach is practical and conversational, focusing on steps people can try between meetings as well as what comes up in the room. He encourages small, manageable changes that build confidence over time.

With four years of professional experience, Jonathan draws on a mix of approaches including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. He also uses mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses. He holds the NCPS credential and works from the United Kingdom.

Sessions focus on everyday problems such as relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anger and workplace pressures. He also supports people facing trauma or difficulties linked to adoption, caregiving, ageing and health challenges. He aims to be straightforward about what might help while remaining flexible as needs evolve.

Jonathan asks people to be clear about their priorities in early meetings so the work stays relevant. He invites clients to set simple, realistic goals and reviews progress together as therapy continues.

Approaches that shape online work

Jonathan uses client-centred methods that prioritise what matters to each person, offering time to speak and be heard while the counsellor follows the client’s lead. This approach helps people who need space to make sense of feelings and set their own priorities.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change reactions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems at work or home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that match those needs. He frames this as a collaborative process and checks in regularly to see what is or is not helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, family life and travel, and it often suits people who need a quieter check-in or a shorter appointment. The main practical benefit is being able to attend from a convenient location, which helps maintain continuity when life gets busy.
