Meet Jonathan – brief intro video

I work with men, teens, adults, and couples navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, burnout, identity, and life transitions. My approach is warm, grounded, practical, and collaborative, with a focus on helping people feel genuinely heard without judgment.

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked across fitness, leadership, social work, and business roles, experiences that continue to shape my real-world and approachable style of therapy. I aim to make counselling feel approachable, honest, and useful, especially for people who may not normally see themselves as “therapy people.”

I have particular experience supporting men’s mental health, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, and young adults navigating direction, identity, and pressure.

My approach is person-centred, holistic, and grounded in mutual collaboration. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and Gottman-informed couples therapy, tailoring support to each client’s goals and needs.

I offer both online counselling across New Zealand and in-person sessions in Howick, Auckland. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to help determine whether we are the right fit.
