I have been very impressed by the work that Jonathan does. He works with more than one of my clients and has been able to help them develop excellent skills which they have been able to apply to their daily lives. DBT is a well validated and researched therapeutic modality and it’s my impression that Jonathan is masterful in this form of therapy.

Adolescent depression and anxiety is often associated with the experience of overwhelming emotions felt with enormous intensity. These emotions often drive adolescents to use maladaptive coping mechanisms such as cutting. Jonathan works with these teens in a very pragmatic way, helping them to identify the emotions and match these with appropriate coping mechanisms. In so doing, the emotions are less overwhelming and more adaptive techniques are used. They develop a coping toolbox; for emotional metabolism.

I have witnessed Jonathan in action in DBT groups. Jonathon connects with people without a sense of intrusion. He has the remarkable ability to challenge a person’s thought patterns while maintaining a genuine sense of acceptance and understanding of the person.

Jonathan is a friend and colleague. I have come to know Jonathan as a dedicated family man and counsellor. He is continually looking towards the future and how he can equip himself as a more skilful clinician. His absolute passion for working with and helping young people reach their full potential by providing them with skills by way of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), is an inspiration for those around him. I am proud to work with Jonathan and be associated with the Glenbrook Practice.
