Jonny Edge, BACP

Jonny Edge offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, low, anxious or unsure about the next step. He writes plainly and listens closely so clients can speak at their own pace. The opening conversation focuses on what matters to the person sitting in front of him, not a checklist of labels. Jonny aims to help people find clearer direction and small, manageable changes they can try between sessions.

Jonny uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s voice central. Sessions are built around active listening, reflecting back what’s said and asking questions that help connect thoughts and feelings. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and life changes such as midlife challenges.

He has three years’ experience and holds BACP registration, which means he is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jonny has worked with people across a wide age range and has run both short and longer-term sessions in person and online.

Typical topics he has supported include self-esteem, grief, parenting pressures, career uncertainty, ADHD-related difficulties, and issues around intimacy and anger. He also addresses concerns such as codependency, control problems, dissociation and eating and food-related issues.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Jonny encourages straightforward conversations about goals and practical next steps during the early sessions.

How person-centred work translates to online counselling

Jonny practices person-centred counselling, which centres on listening, empathy and reflecting back what you say. This approach helps people gain clarity about feelings and choices by keeping their experience at the heart of each session. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, relationship worries and life transitions such as midlife shifts.

The therapist’s role is to provide a steady, non-judgemental presence and to ask questions that help clients notice patterns and possibilities. Sessions aim to build understanding and small, practical changes rather than prescribing a fixed plan. Deciding which way of working fits best is a collaborative process between the person and the counsellor.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Jonny will discuss how to shape sessions so they fit everyday life and the goals you bring to therapy.
