About Jonathan
Jonathan Koleosho is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also helps those coping with addictions and issues around intimacy and self esteem.
He creates an open space where clients can talk without feeling judged. Sessions are intended to be supportive and empowering, with the therapist listening carefully and reflecting back what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Jonathan presents himself as a calm presence during difficult conversations. In practice he combines different ways of working depending on what a person needs. He uses client-centred methods to prioritise the individual's experience and to help them feel heard.
He can draw on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He also brings elements of psychodynamic thinking to consider patterns from earlier life that might still affect someone now. Jonathan has particular experience with concerns related to LGBT life, relationships, grief and eating or food-related issues.
He is also familiar with obsessive or compulsive behaviours, paranoia, personality difficulties, prejudice and discrimination, and sexual harm or addiction issues. Sessions are delivered in English and Jonathan accepts international clients. He asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule appointments according to his availability.
The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Jonathan's approaches can work online
Jonathan uses client-centred therapy to begin by hearing the person's experience and building a collaborative relationship. This approach helps when someone needs to feel understood and to explore what matters most to them.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and habits linked to addictions or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will review your goals and preferences with you and suggest which methods to try. This is a joint decision and can change as therapy progresses.
If you want to use online sessions, check the available session options before booking so you know what format is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy if moving between locations, but confirm the specific session arrangements when you match with the therapist.
