About Jonathan

Jonathan Sibbring works with people facing relationship problems, grief, depression, anxiety, stress and LGBT-related concerns using a person-centred way of working. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of experience in the field.

He uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people make sense of difficult feelings. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at how emotions affect relationships and connection.

Over his career he has helped people cope with life changes and compassion fatigue alongside more specific issues such as adoption and foster care, cancer, HIV and AIDS, and sexual assault and abuse. He also works with concerns about sexuality, men's issues, guilt and shame, and problems with communication.

His work includes helping people find practical ways to manage day-to-day stress and to respond differently to patterns that no longer help them. Sessions include talking through recent events, reflecting on emotional responses and practising new ways of interacting.

Jonathan has worked in a mix of settings during his 15 years, including private practice and roles in the UK health sector, and he has experience teaching at university level. This background informs a straightforward, conversational style in sessions.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's view of their life. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that fit with their values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotional responses and how these affect relationships and connection, helping people identify feelings and change unhelpful interaction cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will discuss how these methods could help and will agree what to try based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may adjust over time as progress is reviewed.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Different formats may suit different practical needs, such as a shorter phone call for a quick check-in or a video session for more in-depth conversational work.
