About Jonathan Smith

Jonathan Smith is a UK-based therapist with six years of counselling experience and membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He draws on both his background as an experienced IT professional and his own family experience when supporting people through practical and personal challenges.

He works with clients facing addictions, workplace difficulties, questions of personal or sexual identity, relationship problems, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. He also supports people who want to make meaningful changes in their lives, whether in their family and personal life or in their careers. His approach blends practical techniques with a focus on what the client wants to achieve.

Jonathan aims to create an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult and seeks to encourage and validate the decision to invest in oneself, helping clients feel valued as they work toward change.
