Jonathan Feld, BACP

Jonathan Feld offers straightforward, person-centred therapy that focuses on what matters to each individual. He uses practical tools from cognitive and motivational approaches alongside client-centred listening. Jonathan aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, low in mood, anxious, or struggling with intrusive thoughts. He speaks English and French and works with people online across the United Kingdom and beyond.

He has 18 years of clinical experience working in both public and private settings. That time includes roles in crisis response, criminal justice and community NHS mental health teams. Before practising as a counsellor he spent years in corporate coaching, which shaped his practical approach to problem solving.

In sessions he helps people tackle issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He brings together straightforward cognitive techniques, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

Jonathan also offers support around career stress, parenting pressures, anger and eating-related concerns. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems, dissociation and recovery from domestic violence or drug and alcohol addiction. He uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change.

His style is practical and collaborative. He works with each person to set realistic goals and to pick approaches that fit their situation. Sessions are structured but adaptable to the needs people bring to therapy.

Approaches that suit online sessions and everyday problems

Jonathan uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, listening space where the person leads what they want to talk about; this helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about their feelings. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces small experiments and practical tools to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the mix as therapy progresses. That way sessions stay focused on what the person wants to achieve rather than a fixed formula.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit around a busy day or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions and for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family life and travel.
