Dr Jonathan Kettle

Clinical Psychologist

“Confidential, experienced, open, non-judgmental, offering in person and online sessions, working with you for the length of time you need.”

About Me

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in Carlton, Victoria, Australia. I work with you on abuse, anxiety, relationship problems and LGBTQI+ concerns. I use psychoanalysis to identify repeating patterns and to support clearer choices.

Approach

You’ll find the pace steady and curious, giving space for both old hurts and everyday choices to surface. From my Carlton consulting room or by secure video, we speak in plain English, check in about what’s most urgent, and gently trace recurring patterns that shape your relationships and mood. Sessions combine attentive listening, careful reflection and links between past experiences and present reactions; between appointments I may offer brief reflections or observations to carry into your week. This way suits people seeking clarity and steadier choices.
