Meet Jess.


As a therapist, my aim is to provide a warm and safe place where you have an opportunity to tell your story. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and find it a privilege to be invited to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the ups and downs of life. I have been providing therapy for around 13 years, primarily in the public mental health sector where I have held senior clinical positions and contributed to service development.

I have a special interest in working with the impacts of trauma and attachment difficulties, and I have undertaken additional training to work effectively with relational trauma. I integrate systemic family therapy principles with current knowledge of the neurobiology of trauma to provide a safe and healing space for you. This relational attachment framework also supports me in working with families during the perinatal period, which is another area of special interest for me.

I also offer supervision to social workers and other helping professionals. Whether you are seeking support to guard against burnout, compassion fatigue or vicarious trauma, or looking to develop your therapeutic practice framework, I am an experienced supervisor drawing on my therapeutic experience to provide a safe space for critical reflection.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, travelling, baking and being with my three energetic dogs.

If you’d like to see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free 10-minute phone call to discuss your support needs before you book an appointment.

Please note, I do not provide Court reports or take Court ordered referrals for family therapy.
