Jonathan’s Bio:
This photograph was taken in Cornwall towards the end of the summer in 1998. This
signifies the end of one chapter in my life that had been focused on the body and
the beginning of a period of intense study and exploration of the mind that continues
to this day. This is my journey into the world of Psychological Science, Philosophy,
Counselling and the Psychotherapies -
It seems that as human beings we all search for meaning and a way of making sense
of the world we inhabit -
Leaving my home in Cornwall to begin my studies I had no idea where my chosen path would lead me. All that I knew was that I could no longer ignore those aspects of my life that I was most drawn towards and that fascinate me the most. This is a thread that flows through my life like a river, and has remained a constant. The choice to take the road less travelled was not taken without often stumbling as if blind to my circumstances and then feeling my way again. My journey has not been without great cost, personal loss and sacrifice, and yet as Nietzsche said: “What does not kill you, makes you stronger”. I feel deeply privileged to be able to walk this path. However, for the most part, I feel that I have been in touch with something that has guided my interactions with others and with the world. A way of being in the moment, a way of being present with those around me, and to my lived creative experience. My journey through life has given me a deep appreciation for the learning that I have received along the way.
Throughout my life I have been drawn to the study of Eastern Philosophy and the practice
of Martial Arts -
I have always been interested in human creativity and have moved through consecutive
careers involving Architecture, Civil Engineering and Design. I have experience of
managing projects, and of developing wide ranging interpersonal relationships with
clientele and people from diverse cultures. I have 10 years experience of running
my own business as a qualified Carpenter and Joiner -
My four years at Keele University in Staffordshire were spent studying Psychology and Philosophy. In addition I also studied: Neuroscience, Statistics, Environmental Management, Astronomy, Educational Studies and International Relations. My studies have provided me with a broad foundation of knowledge, which continues to support and inform my work and my special interests in my ongoing personal and professional development.
During my time at Keele University I was awarded a summer research bursary from the
Nuffield Foundation to assist the Psychology Department’s investigation into the
Neuropsychological effects of football heading -
My Sports Psychology research focused on helping Karate students at Keele University
enhance their awareness and performance of their chosen Kata (a detailed choreographed
patterns of movements). My final year psychology dissertation was awarded the British
Psychological Society (BPS) -
While at Keele University I took on the role of student representative for the Psychology
and Philosophy departments. This provided the opportunity of developing skills in
negotiation and mediation -
Moving to London in 2002 I began Post Graduate studies at the School of Psychotherapy
and Counselling Psychology (SPCP), Regent’s college, which is set in scenic grounds
of Regent’s Park. The Existential and Phenomenological work at Regent’s College was
recognised internationally which made this the logical choice to combine my study
of Psychology and Philosophy. It is there that I completed an MA in Counselling Psychology
and a Post-
I have provided counselling and psychotherapy within many different environments,
including private therapeutic communities, within NHS hospital settings, working
at St. Thomas’ Hospital Psychotherapy Department, as well as for the Psychological
Therapies Service (PTS) in London. I have gained considerable experience in assessing
clients therapeutic needs and can refer clients where specialised service are required.
With the development of the coaching side of my practice, I have worked with people
from many different companies and professions seeking to improve their working relationships
and personal skills. I have also worked with people, both amateur and professional,
striving to enhance their sports performance. I feel very privileged to have worked
and trained with so many wonderful people over the years, and I look forward to meeting
and working with many more in the future. The service I providing is completely confidential,
and I aim to provide a comfortable space where you can relax and begin exploring
what it is you need from your therapy or coaching sessions. Whether for the individual,
couple, group or family, within the workplace, organisation, or within sport and
leisure activities. Psychological therapy and peak performance coaching has an important,
if not a crucial role to play, enabling the removal of blocks from you life, so that
you can achieve your goals and realise your true potential.
2011 and 2012 are going to be a very exciting years. I will hopefully be extending
my practice to provide my services in Central Hong Kong and in Perth Australia. This
will provide the opportunity to continue my research and development of my individual
approach to counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and NLP inspired performance
coaching. If you are in either of these geographical locations and are interested
in exploring therapy or coaching with me, why not drop me an e-
