Therapy Lives Avis 11

Jonathan - Therapy Lives is kind calm and patient listens to your needs and provides therapy in a professional manner. Support from Jonathan has vastly helped me to overcome fears following a motor accident

Jonathan is a kind and attentive professional. He listened and held space, whilst offering opportunities to understand behaviours. Would definitely recommend.

I started seeing Jonathan in August 2023, and did so for ~10 months. Having suffered multiple major bereavement in my life which I had not fully tended to this was infecting my day-to-day, so topics ranged from daily struggles to talking about my past, and how or why they link.

Jonathan offer me a supportive, kind and non-judgmental space, to explore many of the symptoms of this trauma I had experienced over the years. He encouraged me in the right directions with compassion and understanding of what it was i was experiencing.

I stopped the sessions, purely to trial a period of my life to reflect on many of the findings I came across during this experience.

My day - to - day life has significantly improved having sought help through Jonathan.

Jonathan has been an incredible support throughout my counselling journey. His guidance has helped me reflect on the challenges I've overcome and the growth I've experienced. Instead of focusing on what I lack, Jonathan highlighted my positive attributes, helping me recognize my strengths. He also encouraged me to explore new hobbies that I'm passionate about, which has greatly uplifted my spirits. Additionally, I appreciate how understanding Jonathan has been of my financial situation, making allowances to ensure I could continue receiving the support I needed. I'm truly grateful for Jonathan's expertise and compassionate approach to counselling

I found Jonathan a good listener, ready to ask questions where necessary and knowing when to stay silent to allow more to come out. Patient, encouraging. The whole time went at my pace, working on what I wanted to work on and then ready to stop when I had reached where I wanted to be.

I started counselling sessions with Jonathan at the beginning of the year, and each session made me feel as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

I found Jonathan to be calm, patient and a great listener and I appreciate the support I had from him, especially during the time I lost a family member.

I now feel more confident setting healthy boundaries for myself and the people in my environment.

Review written by a parent of a teenager who has benefited from therapy with Jonathan at Therapy Lives.

I found Jonathan to be very calm, welcoming, accepting, understanding and empathetic to our teen's and our family's circumstances. I felt comfortable that my teen was able to discuss all sorts of things in a safe and secure environment. My young person has grown in confidence over the time period that Jonathan was seen and has been able to reflect on the therapy and all the benefits that have come with it. Now that sessions have come to an end, Jonathan will be missed. My teen is now in a excellent place to move on to the next stages and challenges of life.

I very much liked and appreciated Jonathan's suggestion for regular reviews whereby my husband and I would join our teen to discuss progress with Jonathan. It was good for both Jonathan and our young person to hear our perspective, as parents, and to receive feedback on how the sessions were going.

I found Jonathan's details on the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) website so I was confident he is qualified and accredited. I would highly recommend Jonathan as a therapist. His professional manner inspires instant respect and trust and we felt very comfortable leaving our teen in his care.

Jonathan was a great therapist, he helped me a lot. I rate him 5 stars.

I was extremely skeptical about seeing a therapist. I suppose, I was nervous and frightened if I am being honest. I didn’t know what to expect as this was an entirely new experience for me. Ultimately this proved unfounded and I needn’t had worried as Jonathan put me at ease from our initial consultation.

Jonathan is patient, compassionate and has an empathetic manner to his approach while being proactive and constructively challenging when he needs to be.

The issues I was having began to seep into my relationship. Jonathan really helped me a lot to deal with them without judgment. It is really hard to open up to someone. I felt a comfort in Jonathan’s approach. I am very grateful to him for this.

If you are struggling and you need an avenue to go to, or a safe haven to divulge things that you may not be entirely comfortable opening up to family or friends. I would highly recommend Jonathan.

Therapy Lives has helped me enormously. I’ve learnt about my behaviors, understood better my past and found a safe environment to air my thoughts.

I took my first therapy sessions with Therapy Lives and Jonathan’s approach was warm, comforting and truly insightful.
