Hi, I’m Jaz. A Clinical Counsellor offering trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and neuroaffirming support for adults across Australia. I work with people navigating complex trauma, including sexual assault, domestic violence, PTSD, systemic harm, identity exploration, grief, family estrangement, substance use, and burnout. My approach is compassionate and tailored to your unique needs grounded in holding that healing happens through meaningful connection and not quick fixes. I believe in meeting you where you are at, and building a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered.
In a world that’s becoming increasingly automated, I offer something deeply human - a space for real connection, meaning-making, and healing. I am here to support you as you reconnect with yourself, find your own voice, and move forward on your terms. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just need a space to land - I'm here.
I'm based in Melbourne and offer in-person counselling, as well as telehealth (video or phone) for adults across Australia. Appointments are available on various days, including evenings and weekends. Send a text, email, give us a call, or head to the website to book your free 15-minute consultation today.
