About Jonathan
Jonathan Sedarati is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He works with adults who are feeling stuck, anxious, depressed or overwhelmed by fights, addiction, or ongoing relationship tensions. He is straightforward about change - the work requires effort and commitment from the person attending sessions.
Jonathan focuses on practical, goal-oriented conversations. He does not offer one-size-fits-all advice or lectures. Instead he listens to what is happening in a person’s life and helps map out steps that can reduce stress, manage cravings, improve communication and rebuild confidence.
Clients come with issues such as addiction and problem drinking, anxiety and low mood, sleep and eating difficulties, and struggles with intimacy or commitment. He also helps people who feel stuck by family origin problems, shame, jealousy or a lack of life direction. Codependency and attachment issues are included among the themes he supports people to work through.
Sessions are aimed at producing manageable changes. Conversations tend to focus on everyday behaviour, clearer boundaries, and skills that can be practised between meetings. Jonathan asks direct questions and offers observations designed to help people test different ways of relating and coping.
He has worked with people from various countries and uses approaches rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. If someone is willing to do the work between sessions, he helps set practical steps and reviews progress over time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jonathan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people notice and shift automatic reactions to stress, anxiety or cravings by practising small behavioural changes and new ways of responding. This can be useful for addictions, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties.Another approach looks at how attachment and relationship patterns formed early on affect current relationships. Sessions explore typical interaction cycles and test different responses to improve communication and reduce codependent patterns or control issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan treats the choice of methods as collaborative - he will discuss options, try things out and adjust based on what helps meet a person's goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit around work or family schedules, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions to tackle deeper relationship or addiction topics; Jonathan will work with the practicalities to fit sessions into everyday life.
