Therapists for Teens in Northcote, VIC

During our sessions, I create a safe and supportive space to navigate mental health challenges. You can expect a lot of compassion, and no BS. My approach gently empowers self-understanding, reinforcing self-identity and overall confidence. Embracing the changing landscape of mental health care, I now exclusively offer video and telehealth sessions.

I am a clinical psychologist in full-time practice, with experience working since 2004 with adults and families in both public and private sectors. Previously, I worked at Orygen Youth Health, delivered post-graduate clinical training at The University of Melbourne, lectured to clinical Masters students at The Cairnmillar Institute, and have published papers and books on psychotherapy. I provide psychoanalytic therapy, supervise colleagues and students, and work with people with complex presentations. My fees are on a sliding scale, including bulk-billing, and a reduced fee once the Medicare rebate has been used for the year.

Jess offers individual counselling, couples counselling and supervision. Jess is welcoming and friendly. She recognises the importance of building a therapeutic relationship to which people can bring problems and issues without judgement. Jess understands that we all experience uncomfortable and unhelpful behaviours and feelings. With support and some gently challenging, these behaviours and feelings can start to shift.

Jes is a integrative therapist, who helps clients to safely explore themselves and their experiences more deeply, in ways that don't just rely on the intellect. With a warm and validating approach, this process is well suited to people who are feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or who are having a challenging time in life and need to find a way forward.

I am a clinical psychologist with more than 15 years' experience in full-time practice. Earlier in my career, I was the Head of Clinical Practice at The Cairnmillar Institute, and a senior psychologist in public health. I work with adults and adolescents with a range of issues detailed below. I have particular expertise in working with trauma, abuse and post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, complex difficulties, especially in relating to others, and gender and sexuality issues. My approach is to work with you at your pace as your therapy unfolds over time.
