Jonathans kind and patient personality made me feel incredibly safe to open up. Step by step we work through my challenges as soon as I am ready to make the next step. He encourages me greatly to keep on going and better myself.
I am very thankful for him.

Jonathan has been a great help; I was sceptical about therapy and felt like it wasn't for me. After being pushed by my partner, I decided to try it. I can honestly say it's been a step worth taking. Committing 30-45 minutes each week to discuss how I'm feeling and putting all my thoughts in 1 place has been a fantastic way to manage my stress and cope with what appeared to be 'burnout'. Jonathan has supported me through this journey with a friendly smile and a little banter here and there. I would highly recommend therapy, BetterHelp and Jonathan !
