For over a decade, I’ve supported individuals, couples and families through all sorts of seasons, exploring what matters to them, what feels stuck, and what healing and growth might look like. I bring a whole-person approach to this work, which simply means I consider the body, mind, heart, spirit, relationships, and the bigger picture of life around us.

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.

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.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
