  Jonathan Jones Psychotherapy

  Jul 2021 - now

  Psychotherapist and Psychodynamic Counsellor

  Psychotherapy is an opportunity for us to explore, through talking, how things are for you. In doing so, you get to know yourself better and understand more about the things that have happened to you and the choices you have made. I believe that it is this insight which allows us all to live happier and more fulfilling lives, in a way that fits better with who we really are. However you are feeling, whatever has happened to you and whoever you are, talking really does help to relieve confusion, discomfort or pain.I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist. People often describe this type of therapy as ‘going deeper’. This might be because an important part of the work is bringing what is unconscious into consciousness, through exploring how past relationships and our emotional development affect our present lives, behaviours and perceptions.
