About Jonathan
Jonathan Wilkes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a psychosynthesis and integrative perspective. He combines a warm, accepting manner with attentive listening to help people who are under stress or facing difficult life changes. Jonathan holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, eating difficulties, anger and coping with transitions.
Background and approach
He also helps with relationship problems, low self-esteem, ADHD-related issues and the ripple effects of past trauma and attachment wounds. Jonathan draws on client-centred ways of working to create an atmosphere of empathy and acceptance.
He uses psychosynthesis as a core framework and can include techniques from cognitive behavioural work, dialectical behaviour approaches, mindfulness and solution-focused methods when they suit a person’s needs. Sessions are paced to the individual and aim to build trust over time. People who meet him can expect space to explore painful memories and strong emotions, and practical steps to manage unhelpful patterns.
Jonathan emphasises emotional expression and noticing how early experiences shape current behaviour. He aims to help people understand their choices, find greater self-compassion and move towards clearer life purpose. He has four years of direct counselling and psychotherapeutic work and additional experience in roles supporting adults and young people with complex mental health and learning needs.

How Jonathan works online
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods to suit each person. Over a few sessions the way of working can be adjusted as needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family routines, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness or breathing practices between sessions and try practical tools in everyday settings before discussing them with a therapist.
