Experienced working with youth and adult populations in varied contexts.
I am a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (PACFA) who provides a warm, relaxed and collaborative space for holistic healing and growth, and believe the key to successful therapy is the strength of the therapeutic relationship. My approach is integrative and non-pathologising, and my areas of focus include: grief and loss, body image issues, chronic health conditions, depression, anxiety, trauma, self esteem and shame, and more. I have a keen interest in the intersection between nutrition, lifestyle and mental health, as well as supporting individuals experiencing mother loss (physical death and ambiguous loss).

Hello, my name is Bronwyn. You’ve taken an important step by visiting my profile. Are you struggling to connect with a counsellor or open up to loved ones? Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or trauma and aren’t sure where to turn. When you work with me, you’ll connect with a counsellor who has lived experience and someone who truly understands how isolating and exhausting life’s challenges can feel. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of the emotional toll that relationship struggles, divorce, parenting challenges, grief and loss, abandonment, emotional abuse, and feeling unheard can take on a person.

Hi, I’m Jasmine, founder of Masters Wellbeing. What sets my practice apart is that I’ve walked this road myself — I know the disorientation of scam and betrayal trauma, the grief of adverse childhood experiences, and the weight of late ADHD diagnosis. My ideal clients are people carrying something heavy and brave enough to face it: those navigating betrayal or scam trauma, grief, anxiety, or being neurodivergent in a world not built for them. Through Motivational Interviewing, ACT and mindfulness, we work across three pillars — safety, the body and connection — so you move, at your pace, toward feeling more yourself.

I work with both individuals and couples from a client-centred, trauma-informed approach. Many of the people I see are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, ADHD, relationship struggles, substance use, life transitions, existential questions, and the deep loneliness that can come with these experiences. I especially enjoy supporting highly sensitive people, and those who feel a pull toward exploring their deeper truth.

Telehealth Available Australia Wide. In Person Available in Perth Metro WA. There is no such thing as a human that doesn't need support sometimes. If it all feels too much and you're confused or overwhelmed by your emotions, or perhaps you've gone numb long ago, it's ok to be where you're at. The question really is, where do you want to be in the future? What do you want your life to look like, and how can you get there? I am all about helping people build up their own toolkit of coping strategies so that you feel you have options to weather the storms and are in control of your own thoughts and feelings and not at their mercy.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
