About Jonathan Wildman
Jonathan Wildman is a UK-based counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He holds a Diploma (Level 4) in Therapeutic Counselling, an MA (Level 7) in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice which is a master level qualification, and a PhD in Social Science that examined regulation within counselling and psychotherapy.
He offers a warm, relational and non-judgemental therapeutic space where people can bring a wide range of concerns. Grounded in a humanistic person-centred approach, he prioritises genuine connection and attentive listening, exploring how clients make sense of themselves, their relationships and the wider world. This way of working can help address presenting difficulties and often reaches issues that are not always directly named in sessions.
Jonathan works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, identity and LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, ADHD and other concerns that affect day-to-day life. He adapts his practice by drawing on existential and trauma-focused ideas alongside elements from gestalt, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural approaches, and can incorporate therapeutic writing or art exercises when helpful.
Known for a down-to-earth and human style, he brings research experience and a background in social support and education to his work. He aims to build facilitative relationships that support personal insight and change, working with compassion, open-mindedness and sometimes a gentle humour to make space for progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jonathan combines client-centred and trauma-focused approaches with practical online delivery to meet a range of needs. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and a respectful, non-judgemental relationship - it helps people explore identity, self-esteem, relationships and everyday difficulties by centring their own experience. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and responsibility, supporting people who are struggling with life transitions, identity questions or feelings of emptiness and uncertainty. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic events, offering structured ways to work with distressing memories and their effects on daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jonathan works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time so therapy remains responsive and meaningful to the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and location. These options increase accessibility and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still enabling a strong therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
