Counselling with Jonathan- phone online in-person
WHY COUNSELLING?
In counselling, you do most of the talking: you are the best-informed person about yourself, after all. My part is first to listen fully, carefully, without judgment and with openness to your situation, and to reflect back clearly what I hear. This first stage may do some of the heavy lifting by itself . What happens next can take a variety of routes; 'here and now' using the body, creative approaches, or a sharing of theoretical understanding. Whether long or short term work is entered into, mutual agreement and respect are central. Either way, we aim to get to the heart of the matter, shining your own wisdom, sanity, and capacity for love on the situation you have brought.
BACKGROUND
-
Jonathan has been a practising Buddhist for three decades, instructing meditation in the Rigpa Tibetan Buddhist tradition since 2009, and brings this understanding to JPR counselling . He studied TA counselling and psychotherapy at The Link Centre, Sussex. Before counselling, he had a career in classical music and therapeutic arts with visually impaired children and young people, bringing body and voice work as a musician into a clinical setting. Passionate about ecology, he runs a smallholding in Sussex based on permaculture principles .
EXPERIENCE
I have been practising counselling formally since 2017 with a wide range of English-speaking clients worldwide; from young people navigating adulthood to those with end-of-life issues. I am an accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and abide by its code of ethical practise.
