Hi, I’m Jaz, a Clinical Counsellor offering trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming and neuroaffirming support for adults across Australia. I work with people navigating complex trauma, sexual assault, domestic and family violence, post-traumatic stress, systemic harm, identity exploration, existential anxiety & dread, grief, family estrangement or enmeshment, substance use, and burnout. My approach is compassionate and tailored to you. I believe meaningful connection can support healing and change, and aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen and empowered.
When the world feels uncertain or overwhelming, I offer a space to make meaning of your experiences, reconnect with your own voice, and explore what it means to build a life that feels meaningful, values-led, and your own.
Now welcoming new clients for ongoing counselling. In-person sessions are available in Brunswick on Mondays and Thursdays. Telehealth appointments via phone or video are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If you're considering counselling, you're welcome to reach out - i look forward to meeting you.
