Click on the button above to listen to Jon speak about ....
Jon has worked across a number of public and private settings over the past 15 years. His areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, anger management, obsessive compulsive disorder, child and adolescent psychology, work/life stress, bereavement, relationships, sleep disorders, addictions and cognitive assessments. Jon works with the young and old, with differing levels of severity, from mild concerns to the extreme and debilitating, across many different cultures and belief systems.
In a previous role as a Neurotherapist, Jon focused on the assessment, diagnosis and treatment – predominantly utilising Neurofeedback – of ADHD, ODD and other neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood and adolescence. His work with adults included the many manifestations of depression and anxiety as well as adult ADHD.
Jon has also worked with International Corporate Psychology providers where he was responsible for the delivery of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). He was also a member of the Critical Incident Response Team and conducted trauma counselling.
Jon’s emphasis is more on the individual and less on the “disorder”. His therapeutic approach is individualistic and eclectic. He integrates multiple therapeutical techniques to best suit the unique needs of each client.
Jon creates a safe place for his clients based on trust and respect. In his practice, Jon looks at the association between the person’s cognitions, behaviours and emotions. He investigates the interplay between their thought patterns, mood regulation, and different types of behaviour including physiology, sleep patterns, exercise, daily movement and level of function. In this process, he uncovers the client’s belief systems, which are not necessarily based on what’s “right or wrong” but on what the individual believes to be true about the world around them. This often differs from person to person and can be a useful tool to carry throughout life, long after therapy has ceased.
Besides being a psychologist, Jon is also a musician. He’s classically trained on the piano and it’s one of his personal passions. When he isn’t working, he is playing or listening to music.
“There is no right or wrong way to begin therapy – it will be unique to you. As your therapist, I’ll help you find what works best for you. Some people are at ease from the beginning while others are anxious, scared, intimidated or embarrassed. I’m prepared for any or all of these possibilities and will guide you from our first session.”
– Jon Dormand
