Jonathan Hepworth
MA, Dip SW, B.Sc. (Hons), Advanced Diploma in Mental Health, Level 4 Counselling Diploma
Hi, my name is Jonathan. I have almost 30 years of experience in the NHS working as a specialist in mental health. I am a qualified and registered counsellor with a background in psychology, sociology and philosophy. I have years of experience in supporting people through challenging times. I work face-to-face in HD9 and also work online or by phone.
My expertise
My counselling practice is informed by the Person-Centred model, but I apply an integrative approach to meet the needs of each individual.
I have years of experience of helping individuals, couples, families, adults and young people with a whole host of challenges.
These have included experiences of acute change and loss, from bereavement and grief to existential crises that arise at times of difficulty, such as changes in roles, challenges with relationships, difficulties in work and life more generally.
I provide couples/relationship counselling. I am aware that a lot of issues in a relationship can be due to a lack of communication, and I can provide you with the support, tools, and techniques that you need to improve your relationship. I can help with issues such as, cheating, affairs, jealousy, insecurity, and family conflict.
My Background
I have years of experience of helping individuals, couples, families, adults and young people with a whole host of challenges.
As well as being a qualified and registered counsellor, I am also a registered social worker, graduating with an MA and Diploma in 1995. I have worked for many years in the NHS and in a range of services providing therapeutic support.
In my personal life I have a blended and diverse family who support and encourage me to do the work that I do. In my spare time I enjoy motorcycling and cycling, being out in nature, practicing mindfulness, reading and writing, and walking with the family dog.
Investment
My fees are comparable with other less experienced mental health professionals. My usual rates are below; however, I am open to agreeing a different fee depending on an individual’s circumstances.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged at the full rate. Fees can be paid by bank transfer in advance, or cash on the day of the appointment.
Individuals
£50 for 50 minutes
Couples
£60 for 50 minutes
I am registered with a recognised and approved counselling body, and I work to their ethical and professional standards. I have DBS clearance and Professional Liability Insurance. I undertake monthly professional supervision as part of my continuous professional development.
