Two ways to work together

How would you like to meet?

Jonathan is based in Minmi, on the western edge of Newcastle, and works with Sydney clients two ways. Choose the one that suits you, and it will carry through to your enquiry.

Choose how you would like to meet

Online, anywhere in Sydney

A secure video call, from wherever you are.

Most of Jonathan's work with Sydney clients happens online, and it works well. You meet by secure video from home, the office or anywhere private, on your own schedule, with no travel across the city and no waiting room.

  • Counselling for individuals, couples and families
  • Mediation intake and single-session conversations
  • Clinical supervision and workplace coaching
  • Flexible times that fit around work and family

Good to know

Online sessions are available right across Greater Sydney and beyond. You will get a simple, private video link before your session, nothing to install.

If your matter is urgent or you are in crisis, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or 000.

In person, in Sydney by arrangement

For the moments that are better face to face.

Some things are better in the room. Jonathan travels to Sydney for in-person work by arrangement, for wedding ceremonies, workplace training and training days, and for counselling or mediation where meeting in person matters. Tell him what you have in mind and he will confirm what can be arranged and when.

  • Wedding, commitment and renewal ceremonies
  • Workplace training and team facilitation on site
  • In-person counselling or mediation, by arrangement
  • Dates and locations confirmed with you directly

Where Jonathan is based

Jonathan's practice is in Minmi, in the Newcastle and Hunter region of New South Wales. In-person Sydney work is arranged around your date and place, so it is worth enquiring early.

Not sure which suits you? Send an enquiry and Jonathan will help you decide.
