I’m Jonathan Smith, an accredited Strategic Psychotherapist providing Clinical Hypnotherapy on the Central Coast NSW. I work with adults who feel stuck in recurring patterns of thinking, feeling or behaviour — including anxiety, overthinking, stress, unwanted habits, relationship difficulties and problems with confidence or performance.
My approach combines Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to help identify how a problem is being maintained in the present and develop practical ways of responding differently. Rather than focusing only on why a problem began, we look at the patterns that keep it going and what can be changed.
People seek my help for concerns including anxiety, stress, overthinking, confidence and self-esteem, unwanted habits and behaviours, relationship difficulties, and personal or professional performance. Therapy is tailored to the individual, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
I trained at the Institute of Applied Psychology and formerly served as President of the International Strategic Psychotherapists Association.
If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to book a complimentary 20-minute conversation to discuss what you would like help with, ask questions about my approach, and decide whether working together feels appropriate.
