Do you often feel like you are surviving instead of thriving? If you feel stuck in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or if you battle with addiction, you are not alone; and there is something you can do to start feeling better. Integrative therapy can help you get unstuck and heal painful dynamics within yourself and your relationships.

Let's debunk the myth that therapy has to be doom and gloom. In fact, I want you to genuinely look forward to our sessions. As a Clinical psychologist, my focus is on creating an environment where you feel at ease sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between. Together, we will connect dots you may not have realised were there, all with the aim of sparking positive behavioural changes in your life.

Feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed? Maybe your emotions jump from 0-100 in a second; or you're having relationship and other issues. Perhaps you feel on edge, maybe shutdown, have anger, sadness, trauma. With 20+ years’ counselling experience, I bring a wealth of know-how plus a gamut of tools and strategies, to help you. If you're stuck in a tough patch, an experienced therapist with years of experience can help you navigate it all and bring peace and resolution.

With warmth and curiosity, Jessie will gently challenge you to face the hard stuff, providing the space you need to begin to heal.

Counselling and psychotherapy can be a wonderful resource to improve your overall wellbeing. My therapeutic approach can help you: to develop mental and emotional flexibility and resilience, make the connection between the body, mind and spirit, set goals and intentions that support your vision for the future. These are some of the areas I work with: Relationship issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, workplace issues, trauma & PTSD, stress, unhelpful thinking styles, core beliefs and sub-conscious programs, creating new neural networks and identifying strengths to enhance resilience.

I am an extremely caring, warm, open, helpful, respectful, supportive, encouraging, hardworking & compassionate person & health professional. I am very passionate about helping people…well. Helping people to reduce their suffering is important to me. I will want to understand the unique way you are suffering or struggling to cope and will make a difference.
