Meet Jonathan Smith – Strategic Psychotherapist & Clinical Hypnotherapist

Sessions available on the Central Coast and online

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist

Hello, I am Jonathan Smith

I am an Accredited Strategic Psychotherapist, Accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner and Strategic Coach based on the Central Coast near Gosford NSW, with sessions also available online. I trained at the Institute of Applied Psychology and have served as President of the International Strategic Psychotherapists Association.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, overthinking and recurring patterns of thinking, feeling or behaviour that are interfering with daily life. My approach combines Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to explore how a difficulty may be maintained in the present and develop practical ways of responding differently.

Therapy is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals, circumstances and preferences. Clinical Hypnotherapy may be used where appropriate to support focused attention and the rehearsal of more helpful responses. No particular treatment outcome can be guaranteed.

If you are considering therapy, you are welcome to book a complimentary 20-minute conversation to discuss what you would like help with, ask questions about the approach and decide whether working together feels appropriate.

Strategic Psychotherapy focuses on understanding how a difficulty is being maintained in the present. This can include patterns such as avoidance, repeated worry, self-criticism or attempts to control uncertainty. The aim is to identify practical changes that fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula.

Clinical Hypnotherapy may be used alongside psychotherapy to support focused attention, relaxation and the rehearsal of more useful responses. Suitability depends on the person and the concern being addressed, and Jonathan can explain the approach during an initial conversation.

Jonathan trained at the Institute of Applied Psychology in Sydney in Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy and is also a certified NLP practitioner. Sessions are available in person on the Central Coast and online. Outcomes and the number of sessions required vary from person to person.
