John McNaughton
Psychotherapy
I’m John, an integrative therapist supporting adults living with anxiety, depression, trauma, and the impact of difficult early relationships.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or carrying more than you can manage alone, therapy can offer a steady place to slow down, understand what’s happening, and begin to move differently in your life.
You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to be “ready”. You just need a space where you can show up as you are.
If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re welcome here.
About Me
I’ve spent over 15 years working with people in private practice, community services, and custodial settings. Those experiences have shaped how I understand struggle, resilience, and the ways early relationships continue to echo through adult life.
What matters most to me in therapy is the relationship — a space where you feel seen, understood, and not judged. I work at your pace, with curiosity and compassion, and with a commitment to helping you understand your patterns so you can make meaningful, lasting change.
I’m trained in Person Centred therapy, Psychodynamic/Attachment based work, and CBT. But more than anything, I’m here to offer a steady, grounded presence while you explore what’s going on for you.
How I Work
I aim to create a safe, steady and non‑judgemental space where you can explore what’s troubling you at your own pace. Together we will:
– Make sense of difficult feelings and patterns
– Explore the impact of past experiences
– Identify what you want to change
– Develop new ways of coping and responding
– Work toward a more grounded, empowered way of living
This process is collaborative — you bring your lived experience, and I bring a supportive framework to help you move from exploration, to insight, to meaningful action.
