About Jonathan
Jonathan Sedarati is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, depression, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. He also addresses eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem, career questions, ADHD and the strain of life changes.
Jonathan uses straightforward conversations rather than lectures. He helps people identify what they want to change and then tests practical ways to get there. That can mean talking through relationship patterns, finding ways to manage cravings, or building small habits that improve sleep and mood.
He pays attention to attachment and codependency patterns that turn up in adult relationships. He also helps with commitment issues, communication problems and control struggles that often sit behind repeated arguments or withdrawal. Guilt and shame are named areas he will address alongside infidelity, jealousy and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions look at both present behaviour and the family of origin issues that shape it. Jonathan aims to make therapy concrete - setting small goals, trying different strategies, and reviewing what works. He describes change as effortful and gradual, so he focuses on steady steps rather than quick fixes.
People from outside the UK have worked with him. Sessions are conducted in English. The next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to set priorities and practical steps.
Evidenced approaches and how online sessions can help
Jonathan describes his work as practical and results-focused, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep problems active. One approach commonly used helps people map relationship and attachment patterns - it looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and what to change to get different outcomes. This is useful for guilt, shame, commitment worries and communication problems. Another approach focuses on behavioural change - setting small experiments and routines to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage addictive urges. That method is aimed at testing what actually works in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He plans therapy collaboratively, reviewing what helps and adjusting methods to match the client's goals and preferences. The emphasis is on practical steps, regular review, and choosing techniques that fit how a person wants to live and relate.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Generally, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation will do. Some people prefer video for face-to-face contact, while others choose phone for a quieter, less visual check-in; Jonathan supports finding a way of meeting that fits day-to-day life.
