About Jonathan

Jonathan Feld is a BACP counsellor with 18 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress and addictions. He also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, eating and intimacy-related problems. Jonathan speaks English and French and works with people from different backgrounds, including international clients.

He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. In practical sessions he listens to what is most troubling and then uses simple, evidence-informed techniques to address thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour. Sessions often include gentle exploration of emotions, clearer communication strategies and problem-focused steps to reduce distress.

Jonathan’s background includes roles in public and private services across the United Kingdom and France. He has experience in crisis response, criminal justice settings and community NHS mental health teams. Before practising as a counsellor he worked as a corporate coach, which informs his practical focus on goal-setting and planning.

People seeking help for issues such as trauma, addiction, parenting stress or workplace difficulties will find a conversational style that mixes listening with direct techniques. He can support coping with life changes, managing anger, addressing low self-esteem and practical coaching around career concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and French. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Jonathan commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name difficult emotions and to change unhelpful interaction patterns. EFT can help when strong feelings or recurring relational patterns are part of the problem. He also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective and priorities, and cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours maintain distress and introduces practical strategies to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will discuss options with the client and adapt the mix of EFT, client-centred listening and CBT strategies to match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people who live abroad to access support in English or French. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a practical plan for timing, length and focus of sessions that fits each person’s circumstances.
