About Jonathan
Jonathan Sibbring works from a client-centred stance that places the person’s experience first. He focuses on listening and helping people find their own strengths. Jonathan aims to offer steady support during tough moments and practical ways to cope.
He has 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. His background includes roles in both independent practice and the NHS, and he has taught as a guest lecturer at a UK university.
Background and approach
Jonathan holds BACP, which is shown as his professional credential. Jonathan helps people with a range of concerns including LGBT matters, relationships, grief, depression, anxiety and stress. He also works with those affected by adoption and foster care, cancer, HIV and AIDS, and sexual assault and abuse.
He supports people dealing with guilt, shame, life purpose questions and compassion fatigue. In sessions he uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). That means he listens for what matters most to the person and helps them connect feelings with patterns in relationships and daily life.
He aims to create calm, steady conversations where people can talk things through and try new ways of responding. For someone considering therapy, Jonathan encourages taking small steps. He helps people set clear goals and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
If you want practical support with emotions or relationship struggles, he offers a measured, respectful approach to help you move forward.

How Jonathan works online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and the emotions that keep those patterns in place. It helps people name and shift difficult feelings so they can respond differently in close relationships and life situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which method fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow appointments around work or family commitments. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity of care and for checking in more regularly when needed.
