Jonathan La Fèvre

Neurodivergent Counsellor & Psychotherapist

Jonathan is a highly qualified therapist with over eight years of experience in providing psychological interventions, both online and in-person. As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Jonathan is committed to offering high-quality, ethical therapeutic support.

He adopts an integrative and pluralistic approach to therapy; tailoring his methods to meet the unique needs of each client drawing on Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Person-Centered (PCT), and Psychodynamic theory. Jonathan is passionate about empowering overwhelmed and misunderstood individuals to explore and embrace their full selves.

Jonathan has personal and professional experience in working with those from ethnic minority and religious backgrounds, young people, and neurodivergent individuals including those exhibiting high functioning autism (ASD) and attention-deficit traits (ADHD). Jonathan understands the unique challenges of working with children, adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma or harm from past therapeutic settings including at work or in religious institutions.

In addition to his private practice, Jonathan has carried out research and given presentations at the University of South Wales. He has also taught as an ‘Expert Practitioner Lecturer’ in the department of psychosocial and psychoanalytic studies at the University of Essex. His dedication to professional growth is evident through his continual professional development.

Jonathan believes that choosing the right therapist is a highly personal decision. As a neurodivergent therapist himself, he understands that whilst navigating identity, anxiety, trauma, relationships and life’s challenges, trusting in a therapist who respects your individual experience is vital.

- ‘Trust’ is the bridge that allows one to feel truly seen and heard by another.
