Jonathan Gaston is a clinical psychologist and psychologist based in Marrickville, in Sydney’s inner west. His practice is at 422 Marrickville Road, Marrickville NSW 2204.
Jonathan helps people with a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. That can include feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or finding it hard to cope day to day. Therapy can also be a good fit when stress is affecting sleep, work, friendships, or home life.
Sessions are practical and focused on what’s happening now. For many people, that means learning skills to manage tough thoughts and behaviours, and building a plan that feels doable. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches used, along with behavioural therapy. At times, this may include looking at patterns that keep things going the way they are, and then trying small changes that add up over time.
Jonathan also works with couples and families. Relationship problems can show up in different ways, like frequent arguments, feeling disconnected, or struggling to communicate when things get tense. Family therapy can help when the “same issues” keep coming back, or when everyone is feeling worn down by stress at home.
In individual therapy, the focus is on understanding what’s driving the problem and what support you need. Some people want help sorting out anxiety or low mood. Others are dealing with burnout, adjustment issues, or changes that have knocked their confidence. Even when the issue feels messy, therapy can help you slow it down and make sense of it.
For couples and family sessions, it’s often about improving how people talk to each other and how they handle conflict. The goal is not just to get through a tough patch, but to build better ways of relating so things feel calmer and more stable.
There’s no one “right” pace. Some appointments are about getting clarity and direction fast. Other times, it’s more about taking steady steps, checking what’s working, and adjusting along the way. Jonathan’s style is steady and down-to-earth, with therapy that aims to be helpful, not overwhelming.
For anyone looking for support in Marrickville, Jonathan Gaston offers individual therapy sessions, couples counselling, and family therapy. Appointments are available at his practice on Marrickville Road, making it easy to fit care into a regular routine.
