Jonathan Barratt, BACP

Jonathan Barratt is a counsellor who helps people facing jealousy alongside many related concerns. He offers calm, direct listening and practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship worries and addiction. Jonathan works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

He describes his approach as person-centred, which means he puts the client's experience first and follows their pace in sessions. He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, bringing in CBT tools and coping strategies to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want clear, goal-orientated steps for change.

Jonathan has five years of experience as a practising counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His background includes work within addiction services, where he supported people dealing with the disease of addiction. That experience informs how he approaches issues of control, craving and relapse prevention.

Sessions aim to be respectful and non-judgemental. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on practical ways to move forward. Jonathan also addresses a wide range of topics such as grief, intimacy-related worries, ADHD, body image, communication problems and coping with life changes.

People who choose him can expect straightforward conversation and agreed-upon goals. He uses a mix of listening, practical CBT techniques and solution-focused planning to help people make changes that fit their life.

How Jonathan's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities, with the counsellor following the client's pace and giving space to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. These approaches can help with jealousy, anxiety, low mood and behavioural issues by combining listening with clear techniques to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan aims to collaborate with each person to decide whether a person-centred focus, CBT tools or a solution-focused plan best meets their goals. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can be adapted to what helps most.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people work with a therapist in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere. The emphasis is on making sessions practical and manageable within everyday life.
