My name is Jonathon Berg. I’m a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer private counselling for adults in Witham, providing a confidential space to talk, think and make sense of what feels difficult.

​

You may be feeling anxious, low or depressed, overwhelmed by stress, or finding that the same patterns keep repeating. Perhaps you are struggling with relationships, grief or loss, low self-esteem, family difficulties, work pressures, or simply have a sense that something does not feel quite right.

​

Counselling offers a regular space where you can speak openly and begin to understand yourself more deeply. You do not need to know exactly what you want to talk about before you begin.

​

A quiet space to think

​

Sessions in Witham take place in a quiet, private and comfortable counselling room. Meeting face to face can offer a steady and reliable space away from the demands of everyday life.

​

Some people come to counselling with something very specific they want to explore. Others arrive with a more general feeling of being overwhelmed, stuck or unsure why things feel difficult.

​

You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. We can begin with whatever feels most important to you.

​

How I work​

 

My approach is psychodynamic. This means that as well as thinking about what is happening in your life now, we may also become curious about how earlier experiences, relationships and repeated patterns continue to affect how you feel about yourself and relate to others.

​

Psychodynamic counselling is not about being told what to do, and it does not mean spending every session talking about the past. It offers time to explore thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words and to notice connections that may gradually become clearer.

​

Over time, counselling can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships and the patterns that may be shaping your life.

​

Counselling may help with​

 

• Anxiety, panic or overthinking

• Low mood or depression

• Stress, overwhelm or burnout

• Low self-esteem, self-doubt or perfectionism

• Relationship and family difficulties

• Grief, loss or significant change

• Neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD

• Loneliness or feeling disconnected

• Feeling stuck or unsure what needs to change

• Repeating patterns in relationships or life

​

Sessions in Witham

​

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly.

​

I offer open-ended counselling rather than a fixed number of sessions. This means we do not need to decide at the beginning how long counselling will last. We can continue for as long as the sessions feel useful, reviewing this together as we go.

​

I offer a free 50-minute initial consultation, which can take place face to face in Witham or online. This gives us time to talk about what has brought you to counselling, for you to ask any questions, and for me to explain how I work.

​

It is also an opportunity for us both to get a sense of whether working together feels right. There is no obligation to continue afterwards.

​

Location, parking and accessibility

 

Sessions take place in my private garden room in Witham. There is usually on-street parking on the road outside. If a space isn’t available on the day, the nearby Asda car park is only a short walk away. I’ll send you directions and arrival details before your first appointment.

​

There is wheelchair access to the garden room. However, there are no other wheelchair-accessible facilities on site. If you have any access requirements, you’re very welcome to get in touch beforehand so we can discuss whether the space will meet your needs.

​

Taking the first step

​

Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you are used to managing things on your own.

​

You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch.

​

Call, email or text to arrange a free 50-minute initial consultation, either face to face in Witham or online.
