   About Jonathan

   Jonathan Feld works from a person-centred base and uses Motivational Interviewing to help people make practical changes. He speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each individual. Jonathan is a BACP counsellor with 18 years of therapy experience in the United Kingdom and France.

   He helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood or ongoing stress. He also supports those coping with grief, relationship strain, addiction or intrusive thoughts. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps and on building skills that fit into everyday life.

   Jonathan blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with mindfulness techniques. He adapts methods to what a person needs that week rather than following a strict protocol. The aim is steady progress through short-term goals and straightforward coping tools.

   His background includes work in public and private services, crisis response, criminal justice and community NHS mental health teams. He has also worked as a corporate coach, which informs his practical focus on problem solving and decision making.

   Sessions are offered in English and French and can be arranged for people living outside the UK. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats available with the service. To start, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

2. How Jonathan uses practical therapy approaches online

   Jonathan combines Motivational Interviewing with a person-centred way of working and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for problem solving. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and able to make their own choices. CBT offers straightforward tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.
   
   Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will check what matters to the client, try an approach, and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer. Goals are set together and the plan is reviewed regularly so sessions stay relevant to everyday life.
   
   The biography notes that virtual sessions are available, so please confirm the exact formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in if needed during a workday. It also makes it possible to access a counsellor who speaks English or French even when living outside the UK.
