About Jonathan
Jonathan Sibbring is a counsellor who uses Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ways of working to support people through hard times. He is based in the United Kingdom and has BACP accreditation and 15 years of experience. He encourages people to use their own strengths while making practical steps toward healthier patterns.
Jonathan believes clients know their story best and offers a steady, respectful presence to help them notice what matters. Sessions are a chance to talk honestly about grief, depression, anxiety, or stress and to work on clearer communication and relationships. He also helps with issues linked to sexuality, LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care, and men’s issues.
In practice he focuses on feeling and connection alongside what makes day-to-day life easier. That might mean identifying small changes, practising new ways of talking, or noticing emotions that get in the way. He has worked in private settings and in the NHS, and he has experience leading teams and teaching at university level.
People often come with a mix of pressures such as grief, work burnout, or relationship strain. Jonathan offers a calm space to sort through those pressures and consider next steps. He aims to empower people to take manageable actions and to build on existing strengths.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a suitable way of working. Prospective clients are then able to schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability and subscription arrangements.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people notice their own strengths and choices. This approach often helps with depression, low mood, and finding direction in life.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape close relationships. It helps people name feelings, understand recurring patterns, and try new ways of connecting or communicating. EFT can be useful for relationship difficulties and for managing strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt sessions in a collaborative way. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach stays responsive to their needs.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer conversations to focus on relationship patterns or grief. The therapist will help match session length and rhythm to what fits a client’s life and aims.
