Jonathan Sibbring , BACP

Jonathan Sibbring is a UK-based therapist who combines a compassionate, client-focused approach with extensive practical experience. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings 15 years working across private practice and NHS settings, including roles as a Lead Counsellor. He has also contributed to training by working as a guest lecturer at a leading UK university.

Jonathan works with people dealing with depression, grief and loss, LGBT-related concerns, and relationship difficulties, helping them navigate life changes, stress, anxiety and family dynamics. He approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert in their own story and that their existing strengths are central to moving through challenges. That perspective shapes a supportive environment focused on empowerment and practical progress.

Whether someone is coping with loss, rethinking relationships, managing ongoing stress, or exploring identity and sexuality, Jonathan offers a steady, respectful presence to help clarify goals and find steps forward. His practice emphasizes listening, collaboration, and helping people reclaim greater satisfaction and balance in their lives.

Client-Centered and EFT Approaches for Online Support

Jonathan uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's own priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the individual's strengths so they can explore feelings, clarify choices, and build coping resources - it is well suited to people seeking support with life changes, low mood, or stress.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques to help people and couples identify and express the emotions that shape their reactions and relationships. EFT can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, attachment-related difficulties, and situations where improving emotional connection is a key goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jonathan works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He will discuss options and adapt the work as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call or phone, and additional options such as live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
