About Jonathan

Jonathan Sedarati is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family problems, depression, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, career challenges, life changes and ADHD.

Jonathan describes his work as practical and results-focused. He does not offer one-size-fits-all advice or lectures. Instead he helps people identify what they want to change and then works with them to move toward those goals.

Sessions are straightforward. Jonathan listens to the problem, clarifies what matters most, and then helps develop steps people can try between meetings. That might include looking at patterns from family of origin, addressing codependency, or tackling addictive behaviours and control issues.

He has worked with clients from different countries and notes that progress often depends on effort and commitment. Jonathan is clear that change can be difficult and that it requires active participation from the person in therapy.

Practical concerns such as communication problems, commitment issues, jealousy, infidelity and feelings of emptiness are part of his focus. He also supports people who want help with life purpose, career decisions and coping after major transitions.

Therapeutic methods and how they work online

Jonathan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding current patterns and making concrete changes. One common approach looks at how past relationships influence current behaviour and emotions, which can help with attachment issues, trust and codependency. Another practical method targets behaviours and routines that maintain problems, which can help with anxiety, addiction and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jonathan will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means adjusting the pace and techniques based on what is effective for the individual rather than following a fixed plan.

If you want to work with him online, confirm the specific session formats before you book since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into study, work or busy schedules. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and arrange sessions around shifts or university timetables. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements during the first meeting to make sessions workable for everyday life.
