Jonathan Livingstone

I'm here to help you to resolve your issues and achieve your goals as efficiently and economically as possible. We will do this by identifying and resolving the experiences in the past that have created the problem. I’m a psychologist, therapist and coach with more than 25 years' experience helping INDIVIDUALS overcome the obstacles that keep them from living fully, due to trauma, anxiety, childhood abuse, people pleasing, OCD, ADHD, addiction or relationship struggles, and helping COUPLES to communicate more effectively and to let go of past resentments. My goal — and I believe this is also the goal of my clients — is permanent resolution of the therapeutic problem preventing them from achieving their goals. The methods I use — including the Relearning Experience Process (REP), EMDR, energy kinesiology, hypnotherapy, and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) — are designed to get to the root of the problem quickly and resolve it fully, usually within just a few sessions. For individuals, this typically requires between three and ten sessions; and, for couples, between two and five sessions. Because most clients see me for only a short time, I usually have availability within a week or two. When we work together, I’ll help you to clarify your goals, uncover the internal blocks that are holding you back, identify where these blocks come from in your biography, and work with you to resolve them permanently. I believe transformation should take weeks, not years, of therapy. If something is interfering with your happiness, fulfilment, or growth, whether the problem appears to be major or comparatively minor, let’s resolve it. In addition to my therapy practice — founded in London in 1998 and now based in Stourbridge — I’m the author of the books Relearning Therapy (2023) and The Therapist Within You (2007), and I’ve delivered therapy and training in diverse settings, including to young people from townships in South Africa, villagers in rural India following the Asian tsunami, and Sri Lankan refugees in Diego Garcia and Rwanda. My academic background includes an MSc in Psychology, a PGCE from Oxford, and an MA in Critical Theory. If you’re ready to move past what’s holding you back, I’m here to help — in person, by phone, or online.

It feels really good and freeing. I really do feel a lot happier. Thank you again for the two sessions. They were incredibly helpful. I don't really understand how one session can help so much, but it did.   Please call, text, or WhatsApp me on 07951 260446, or email me at [email protected] for further information and to make an appointment.
