Jon Dormand is a psychologist based in Hurstville, NSW. His practice is at Suite 262A, Level 6, 7-11 The Avenue, Hurstville NSW 2220. Sessions are run to help people feel more steady and make day-to-day life a bit easier.
Jon offers individual therapy, so it can suit anyone who wants support with their own thoughts, emotions, and routines. At times, that might be about stress that keeps building up, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, or just wanting a clearer head. Therapy is also available for couples and families, which can be useful when communication breaks down, tensions run high, or everyone is finding it hard to move forward together.
A big part of the work uses cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is a practical approach. It focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions can link together, and how small changes can make a real difference over time. In many cases, people find it helpful to learn ways to spot stress triggers, challenge harsh or automatic thoughts, and build more helpful coping habits.
Stress management is another key part of the sessions. This can include learning techniques to calm the body and mind, and setting up strategies for when life gets busy or overwhelming. Stress does not always look the same for everyone, so the sessions tend to stay grounded and suited to what is going on in real life, not just in theory.
When working with couples, the goal is often to improve how things are discussed and handled at home. That can mean learning to talk without escalating, understanding each other’s point of view, and finding ways to respond differently during conflict. With families, sessions can help when routines, roles, or stress levels are affecting relationships and everyone’s day.
If you are looking for support for mental health, relationship issues, or stress, Jon’s practice offers a calm space to sort things out. The focus is on steady progress, practical skills, and making sure the sessions fit around your situation. For appointments, you can reach out to the practice at the Hurstville address listed above.
