ABOUT JONATHAN
Meet Jonathan Townsend
A qualified counsellor helping people navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion
MY STORY
A lifetime of experience, offering a safe space to help you move forward - with a better understanding of who you are.
My path into counselling has been shaped by decades of professional and personal experience.
After spending more than 40 years working in business; starting in London and then moving to Sydney with my family, I have developed a deep understanding of the pressures people face in their careers, relationships, and personal lives.
Today, I bring that experience into my counselling practice, providing a calm, supportive space where clients can reflect, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

MY APPROACH
My Counselling Approach
Warm & Compassionate
A safe, confidential environment where you can speak openly without judgement
Practical & Grounded
I combine emotional support with practical strategies you can apply in daily life. I use an integrated, evidence based therapeutic approach, including strength based, person centred, CBT and solution focused strategies.
Tailored To You
Your situation isn’t generic, so my approach isn’t either. I start by listening carefully to what’s brought you here, what’s already been tried, and what you’d like to be different. Together we’ll develop an approach that fits your circumstances, strengths and goals.
