About Jonathan Anderson

Jonathan is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) #15542 and a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. He graduated from the five year training program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.

Gestalt therapy emphasizes relational dynamics, trust building, and creative exploration. Jonathan sees the qualities of warmth, humour and compassion as being essential in helping clients find their way towards greater functionality and fulfilment. Sometimes the work involves processing pain that’s been carried for a long time, and other times opening up to the excitement of untapped potential.

Jonathan has had a daily meditation practice for seven years and has offered coaching to individuals and groups. Should a client be interested, he has a range of mindfulness techniques to share. One particular way he enjoys using mindfulness with clients is through practices that are aimed at cultivating new habits of self-regulation and self-compassion.

Some of the particular challenges Jonathan enjoys helping clients meet are experiencing anxiety and/or low self-esteem, repairing attachment and relational difficulties, and working with existential doubts, questions and curiosities.

In his spare time, Jonathan might be found hiking, playing music with friends, roaming the science fiction section of a bookstore, or having extended conversations with his cat.
