How Jonathan can help
Four kinds of work, each grounded in the same approach: warm, practical and built on what is already strong in a person, a family or a team. Every service is available to Sydney clients, most of it online, and in person by arrangement.
Counselling
A safe, collaborative and non-judgmental space to work through what is hard, whether that is anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and loss, trauma, or a relationship under strain. Jonathan works with individuals, couples and families, and with the ordinary hard patches of life as well as the bigger ones.
His practice is strengths-based and trauma-informed, drawing on approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy, focused psychological strategies and psycho-education. It starts with what is already working in your life, and builds from there.
Most counselling with Sydney clients happens online by secure video, which works well and fits around work and family. In-person sessions can be arranged when meeting in the room matters.
Mediation
When people are stuck in conflict, a calm and structured conversation can be the way through. Jonathan mediates for families, workplaces and organisations, giving each person the chance to be heard and helping everyone find a way forward that they can live with.
He brings both the training of a mediator and the ear of a counsellor, so the process stays respectful and the harder feelings have somewhere to go. Many matters begin with an online conversation to understand what is happening, with in-person sessions arranged where they will help most.
Workplace training and coaching
Leadership training, team facilitation, coaching and mental-health workshops for Sydney organisations. Jonathan helps teams understand one another, respond well to mental health at work, reduce stigma, and work together more effectively, drawing on decades leading community organisations.
He also offers clinical supervision for practitioners in the health and counselling fields: reflective, confidential and grounded in ethical practice. Training and facilitation are often delivered on site with your team in Sydney; supervision and coaching work equally well online.
Wedding ceremonies
Jonathan is a marriage celebrant registered with the Australian Government, with more than 25 years marking the milestones that matter: weddings, commitment ceremonies, renewals of vows and baby namings. He travels to Sydney for ceremonies by arrangement.
Every ceremony is written around your story, in your words, at your pace. The first step is a conversation about the day you have in mind, and Jonathan will confirm what can be arranged for your date and place.
Ceremonies are conducted in person. Enquire early so a date can be held.
