Mr Jonathan Freilich

Licensed Professional Counselor

Verified

“I am a compassionate, Person-Centred counsellor of more than 25 years' experience and will help you clarify what essentially matters to you; what’s working and what’s not, and how you can develop your self esteem and skills to move towards more joy and satisfaction both for yourself and in your relationships.”

About Me

I offer a truly compassionate, Person-Centred space where you can explore life's complexities. I will help you clarify what truly matters, identifying what's working and what isn't in your current situation. Together, we will develop your self-esteem and build practical skills, enabling you to find greater joy and satisfaction. This collaborative approach helps individuals achieve more fulfilling personal lives and relationships.

Approach

I listen closely and reflect what I hear so you can begin to recognise patterns and choose differently. Sessions in Hythe, Kent or online in English are steady and paced to your readiness, with room for silence, practical planning and emotional processing. Between meetings I encourage small, achievable experiments and clear check-ins that help with anger, grief, stress, control and relationship shifts, especially when cultural context changes the rules. This way of working suits people who want calm, practical and respectful support.
