Originally from England, Jon earned a Master of Science (MSc) degree in psychology (accredited by the British Psychological Society) before receiving his Post-Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy (accredited by the International Family Therapy Association’s International Accreditation Commission for Systemic Therapy Education) from the Sino-American Family Therapy Institute (SAFTI) in Shanghai, China. He has worked with individuals, couples, and families, from over 60 countries and is currently a psychological counselor at Community Center Shanghai.
Jon has published articles in the Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a Mad in America contributor. He has also spoken at the International Family Therapy Association’s World Therapy Congress. Jon’s areas of interest include (but are not limited to) relationship issues (e.g. marital, familial), sex, anxiety, addiction, and depression.
Jon hopes that clients come to view him, not as a healer or problem-solver, but as a guide whose primary function is to listen. That said, he believes meaningful changes require action, and do not simply result from talking about one’s problems.
