About Jonathan

 

 

My employment history includes a range of experiences in church, non-profit and healthcare settings. That, however, does not really tell you who I am.  These experiences though have taught me a lot about people and even more about myself.  Seasons of growth and personal fulfilment alongside disappointments, and new beginnings, both forced and chosen, have all shaped and contributed to the process of discovering who I am. 

 

I have found that not all of us get to this point and often, for very good reasons.  For some, life’s journey has included an array of challenges, disappointments, unimaginable trauma and confusion that have made it an altogether difficult experience.  However, with support and a greater understanding of self, I believe it is not only possible to find a way forward but to experience healing as well.

 

In addition to my private practice, I am the Pastoral Services Coordinator at a private Psychiatric Hospital in Sydney, providing individual counselling and facilitating wellbeing groups for inpatients with anxiety and depression, substance abuse and personality disorders.

 

My qualifications include;

• Graduate Diploma of Counselling

• Bachelor of Theology

• Bachelor of Business

• Member: Australian Counselling Association (ACA) ; Spiritual Directors International (SDI)
