Dr Jonathan Williams
Child Psychiatrist
FRANZCP, MBBS, BSc, Certificate of Child Psychiatry
Dr Williams is a consultant psychiatrist in Western Australia with over 30 years of experience in clinical psychiatry. He specialises in child, adolescent, and family psychiatry, treating a broad range of psychiatric disorders, and has also maintained a private practice treating adults with anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
He worked as consultant psychiatrist for the adolescent inpatient unit in Perth for several years before moving to Mandurah and working as consultant for the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team for 16 years.
After that, he worked in immigration detention centres in Leonora, Darwin, and Christmas Island for 18 months, and worked extensively part-time as a locum on the east coast in community and inpatient facilities. Prior to COVID, he also worked half-time in private practice in Dee Why and Manly in Sydney alongside his practice in Western Australia.
Over the past 10 years, he has combined training in complementary energy-medicine-based approaches to offer alternatives in treatment and a more holistic approach where appropriate.
In recent years, his private practice has particularly focused on neurodevelopmental issues, seeing a large number of patients with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, sensory sensitivities, eating problems, and high levels of emotional and behavioural difficulty who are struggling to cope individually, in their families, at school, and socially.
Dr Williams has lived for many years on five acres and finds connection with nature, animals, pets, watersports, his caravan, and his family his greatest outlets and balance for his own wellbeing.
