Mishma Kumar-Jonson

Mishma (Mish) Kumar-Jonson is a highly skilled Counsellor, supporting young people, adults, couples, and families. Mish is registered with the AASW and supports clients with a vast array of concerns and has a particular interest in supporting people with decision making.

Through Mishma’s dynamic and supportive approach, Mish creates an environment for change that is comfortable and easeful. This encourages people to explore their life challenges or difficulties and to develop awareness about their circumstances. People learn to be more authentic, empowered to manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours differently and consider better ways to navigate through life through this awareness.

Mish is passionate and committed to supporting people in their journey to bringing self-awareness and understanding to situations they might feel stuck in. By recognising reactions, learning to accept them, and by committing to modifying them as necessary, people can create sustainable change and intentional development can occur. Mish is insightful and outcomes focused which allows people to explore relevant options and pursue the ones that feel right for them. Through practical guidance and impactful strategies, Mish supports people to identify ways they can address any barriers to psychological wellbeing, and healthy relationships.

Mish believes that people’s psychological and emotional makeup is a response to their unique personal experiences and life circumstances. With their guidance, Mish can help you to navigate through your circumstances by drawing on their sound knowledge and skill, and by using a range of evidence-based therapies, dependent on the client’s therapeutic needs. These include Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy.
