He has a wealth of professional and life experiences that have equipped him with profound learning opportunities encompassing love, loss, and the art of forging a deep understanding of oneself. Within his practice, he applies various therapeutic techniques to aid clients in transforming their adverse experiences into pillars of inner strength.
Jonah’s approach to therapy applies cognitive and behavioral theoretical orientations, while also utilizing psychodynamic and solution-focused techniques, when appropriate. He aims to provide clients with practical tools and coping strategies to overcome challenges, let go of obsessive thoughts, and manage stress. Through his counselling, individuals can expect to develop a deeper understanding of themselves as well as learn ways to establish and maintain meaningful relationships.
Jonah is also trained to use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR).

By employing EMDR techniques, he enables his clients to process and heal from their distressing pasts.
