Jonathan Koleosho, BACP

Jonathan Koleosho is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and BACP registration. He focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Jonathan creates a calm space where people can say what they feel without fear of being judged. He aims to support and encourage each person as they take steps towards change.

Before sessions begin he listens to what matters most to the individual. He tailors conversations to the person rather than following one fixed method. That might include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, exploring past experiences that shape current feelings, or focusing on the relationship between the client and the counsellor.

Jonathan uses client-centred work to keep the person’s goals at the heart of the process. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot and change thinking and behaviour that increase distress. Psychodynamic perspectives may be used to look at deeper patterns that repeat in relationships or emotions.

He has worked with issues around identity and prejudice, intimacy and relationships, grief, and self-esteem. Additional areas of focus include eating and food-related problems, obsessive and compulsive difficulties, paranoia, personality-related concerns, and sexual harm or addiction.

Sessions are offered in English and Jonathan accepts international clients. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. The process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling appointments that suit the client.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Jonathan uses client-centred therapy to keep the person and their goals at the centre of each session. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects back what they hear, and helps the client lead the direction of the work. It is useful for people who want a relationship that feels accepting and focused on their priorities.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and try practical experiments to change them. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep problems going. Psychodynamic ideas may also be drawn on to look at recurring feelings and patterns that come from past experiences and show up in current life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest what might help most. The choice of method can be reviewed as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, study, or family life while keeping the focus on what the client wants to change.
