I exclusively work with crickerers (young amateurs, semi-pro, pro or elite), sport parents, performers & sport team coaches. I help you with the psychological shifts needed to transition through the different stages of your sporting career. EG: From Semi-pro to Pro or from Pro to Elite. Before you even get to that level, you need to know you belong there. All the issues you are experiencing in your sport stem from that core issue. That is the essence of my work.

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by past experiences, stuck in patterns they can’t shift, or unsure how to heal old emotional wounds.

I support individuals who have been through trauma and adversity, have anxiety, psychosis, or mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and who are experiencing difficulties managing emotion, low self-worth, problematic patterns of communication, conflict in relationships, stress and significant life changes.
Hi, I'm Jess! When seeing me, you can expect a warm, genuine clinician who makes you feel heard. Whether you are looking for support during a challenging time or wish to gain a deeper understanding of self-defeating coping strategies, I aim to provide you with a space to reflect and learn about yourself. As a therapist, I work from the belief that relationships are both the source of our deepest wounds and the space where true healing can take place. The therapeutic relationship itself can be a corrective emotional experience—one that fosters trust, empowerment, and the reweaving of secure attachment.
