About Dr Jonti Bloomberg

Welcome to my page. I am Dr Jonti Bloomberg, a psychodynamically orientated educational psychologist and philosophical counsellor. I offer both short and long-term therapy to adolescents, adults, couples and families, and psycho-educational assessments to learners of all ages.

My approach

My work is primarily psychodynamic. Together we look at how past experiences, relationships and patterns shape the way you think, feel and relate now, with the aim of greater self-understanding and lasting change.

Attending therapy can be an overwhelming and anxiety-provoking experience. I strive to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space in which we can explore the concerns you wish to address.

In addition to being a psychologist, I am a philosophical counsellor. I offer logic-based therapy (LBT) to adolescents and adults who wish to explore their concerns from a more philosophical stance. Philosophical counselling differs from psychological therapy in that it is not based on a medical model.
