Biography

Jonathan has taught at Metanoia since 2014, having trained there in the late 90s. He also teaches at TA East, Connexus, CPPD and other institutes and corporations, the latter focusing on workplace stress, trauma, and disaster recovery. The hope is to teach in an engaging and informed way, to bring out wisdom from within through experiential exercises as well as more formal delivery of theory and best clinical practices.

Training in Transpersonal Supervision in 2004 involved running groups and individual clinical supervisions, qualifying as a Supervising Transactional Analyst (STA) in 2005. Jonathan has worked as Facebook and Meta’s onsite psychotherapist since 2016 and has supervised at Freedom From Torture, London Friend, and other charities.

Jonathan has worked as an onsite critical incident responder for twenty years, working on national and international terrorist attacks, as well as traumatic events in London. In his private practice in East London, he is particularly interested in couples and relationships work, bereavement, developmental trauma, and transpersonal work.

More recently, consultation work has included traumatic assessment and support for plays such as Grenfell at the National Theatre and student support at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). Consultant work since 2005 has included the Home Office and Cabinet Office on Mental Health strategies and Employee Assistance Programs provisions. Previously, Jonathan was the clinical manager of two employee assistance programs based in London.

Private trainings for trainee therapists are run in relationship therapies, couples work, trauma response, and couples and relational psychoeducation in East London. More info at jonathanlake.co.uk
