Counselling in Hepburn Springs, VIC

Hi, I'm Jordan and I am a registered Psychologist located in Ballarat, Victoria. I work with people over the age of 16 in enhancing the quality of their life, from boosting their confidence, building healthier relationships to finding more meaning and purpose in their lives. Supporting people to achieve their mental health goals by empowering them to overcome personal challenges and build resilience is something I'm passionate about.

I am a registered Mental Health Counsellor. I have helped many clients feel validated and normalised in what they experience in life. I specialise in providing culturally sensitive therapy, addressing variety of topics including identity, belonging, gender roles, women’s issues, managing societal, community and family expectations, discrimination, racism, and issues around migrants and refugees. I feel utmost contentment when I know I have made an individual feel worthy, validated, understood, and hopeful. Through incorporating our cultural roots in sessions, we can truly feel empowered and seen.

I work with people who are open to talking about their life and their journey, and are motivated to make a positive change, whether big or small. They could be seeing me for a broad spectrum of reasons; from something as simple as wanting a new face to talk to, to pursuing professional help for something they’ve been struggling with for a very long time. They are looking to feel heard and hopeful after a session—perhaps even excited to try new strategies that might be able to help them in their daily life. They understand that therapy isn’t a fix-all, but rather a process that could facilitate change

I have experience delivering counselling services to individuals, couples and families and have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked with a wide range of client concerns and enjoy the variety. I particularly interested in anxiety and panic, chronic health conditions and their impact on mental well being, sleep, chronic pain, Vicarious Trauma, and the development of positive coping skills including resilience, assertiveness, emotional regulation, communication, and problem solving.

When you want someone on your team to really hear you and discuss life's issues. There are many creative and flexible ways we can work together. I look forward to allowing you to express yourself and find a more peaceful you!

I believe in creating an safe, warm and non-judgemental space so that clients feel supported in sharing their current experiences and cared for in their journey towards change. I am a curious and open-minded psychologist who considers the client’s unique experiences, goals and aspirations to be at the heart of good therapy. I am skilled in working in a number of domains that are core to many clients’ struggles such as managing unhelpful and persistent beliefs, intense and painful emotions, difficult interpersonal experiences, addictive behaviours, anxiety, low mood, symptoms of trauma and overwhelming stress.

As a counsellor my role is to create a safe space for you to explore the issues that you are dealing with in your life, to find understanding, peace and resolution. If you are experiencing frustration, anxiety, depression or trauma from the challenges of everyday life, loss, bereavement, the end of relationships, or abuse, I am comfortable sitting with you and quietly exploring the emotions and thoughts which arise. I intentionally keep my fees affordable, so that cost isn't a barrier for people to access help.
