Hi, I'm Jade

I have more than 11 years of clinical experience working with evidence-based therapy to help adolescents and adults.  I am also PhD Candidate at the University of Queensland investigating transdiagnostic treatments for mental health. 

 

I prioritise working collaboratively with you, to ensure that your personal goals and presenting concerns guide our work together. I value creating therapeutic relationships built on trust, openness and humour, to ensure you find our sessions rewarding and meaningful. 


A bit about how I work:

  • I work with adolescents (16+) and adults 
  • I recognise the importance of offering culturally sensitive and trauma informed care to ensure a safe and respectful space for all individuals seeking therapy

  • I work holistically with each client & draw on evidence-based approaches 

  • I treat a variety of mental health concerns with anxiety, depression (including bipolar), ADHD, ASD and relationships challenges as specific interest areas. 

  • I offer both face to face (CBD Melbourne location) and Telehealth therapy Australia wide. 

 

Prior to booking in your initial appointment, schedule a brief phone consult so that we can assess our suitability.
