Jonathan Sibbring, BACP

Jonathan Sibbring is a UK-based therapist who combines experience in both private practice and the NHS to support people facing relationship difficulty, grief and loss, depression, and LGBT-related challenges. He has worked as a lead counsellor and also contributes to training as a guest lecturer at a leading UK university. Jonathan practices with a belief that each person is the expert of their own story and brings strengths that can be used to meet lifeÆs challenges.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering steady support while empowering clients to make meaningful changes. Jonathan is accredited with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects professional standards for practice in the UK. Seeking a more fulfilling and happier life often takes courage, and Jonathan aims to create a space where clients can take those first steps, build resilience, and work toward clearer goals. He focuses on helping people find practical ways to cope, repair relationships, and move forward after loss or difficult transitions.

Online therapy informed by client-centered and emotion-focused work

Jonathan draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the person's own perspective and priorities, creating a respectful, non-directive space where strengths and personal insights guide the work. This approach can be helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding, support through life changes, or a steady relationship with a therapist as they explore difficult issues.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on identifying and understanding emotional patterns in relationships and within the self. EFT can help people and couples recognize unmet needs, shift unhelpful interaction cycles, and build more secure emotional connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Jonathan works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, manage mobility or location constraints, and maintain continuity of care during transitions. Working remotely with licensed professionals can make consistent support more accessible while preserving the therapeutic relationship and the focus of the work.
