Jonny Edge , BACP

Jonny Edge is a person-centred counsellor with three years of experience who offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to emotional distress and life transitions. He works from the view that each person is the expert on their own life, and he creates space for clients to explore feelings such as low mood, anxiety, frustration, confusion, or a loss of direction. His practice draws on client-centred therapy - an approach that emphasises empathy, active listening, and supporting people to find their own solutions.

Jonny has worked with a wide age range of people, from 16 to 85, in both face-to-face and online settings across short-term and longer-term work. He has supported people through issues including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and intimacy-related concerns, eating and parenting challenges, anger and career questions, bipolar and ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also focuses on themes such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.

Jonny holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional affiliation with a UK counselling body. His style aims to offer a steady, respectful presence and thoughtful questioning to help clients make connections and move forward at their own pace.

Person-centred approaches and flexible online therapy options

Client-centred therapy, also called person-centred counselling, focuses on providing an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and reflection. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, grief, and questions about life direction by prioritising the client’s own insights and pace.

Person-centred counselling emphasises respect, unconditional positive regard, and careful listening. It supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps by helping them clarify values, recognise patterns, and build a stronger sense of self. The therapist’s role is to be present and curious rather than directive, allowing change to emerge from the client’s own process.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and a licensed professional or therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility - they make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from different locations while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship.
