Southbank Team

I believe that building a safe and non judgmental space is integral to therapy. Our initial focus will most likely be building your insight and helping you to understand the unhelpful patterns that impact your daily life and cause you emotional, behavioural or relationship problems. Drawing on this understanding, I will support you to develop practical skills to help deal with your difficulties and increase your psychological wellbeing.

I have experience working with people of all age groups from 16+ but primarily work with adults, focusing on younger adults. I also provide couples therapy using a Schema Therapy approach.

I have am also a Board Approved Supervisor and offer clinical supervision to provisionally and generally registered psychologists. I also offer primary and secondary supervision to psychologists completing the Clinical Psychology Registrar program.

I am a Registered Psychologist with experience providing care across a range of settings in Melbourne, including clinical and athletic spaces. My practice is built on a foundation of advanced doctoral training and client-centred care, which equips me to work thoughtfully with both young people and adults facing diverse mental health challenges. I take an integrative, evidence-based approach to treatment, adapting my therapeutic frameworks to suit the unique history and needs of every individual who steps into my room.

I believe that meaningful therapeutic progress is impossible without a genuine human connection. My absolute core strength is my warm approach and ability to build deep, natural rapport with my clients, transforming what can often feel like a daunting process into a safe, secure, and collaborative space. Prioritising a strong therapeutic alliance from our very first session allows us to work side-by-side to understand your difficulties, unpack deeper behavioural patterns, and clarify your personal goals with clear direction and empathy.

I support individuals across the lifespan navigating complex psychological concerns, with a particular focus on clinical presentations such as anxiety, chronic stress, emotional burnout, major life transitions and self-esteem challenges. Additionally, I also support athletes with performance-based issues including performance anxiety, confidence and focus.  

I take a person-centred and holistic approach to psychological care, with an interest in understanding people within the broader social, cultural, and environmental contexts of their lives. I aim to create a space where my clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves, and where they can work collaboratively to understand their experiences, what matters to them, and how they want to move forward.

Outside of work, Jenn enjoys playing video games (favourites include Knights of the Old Republic, Stardew Valley, Fields of Mistria, and Baldur’s Gate 3), Pilates, and reading.

I am a registered psychologist with experience across public, private, and community mental health settings, supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of mental health challenges. This includes anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress‑related difficulties, emotional regulation concerns, low self‑esteem, adjustment issues, and more complex presentations. My background spans early intervention with young people and families, as well as supporting individuals with complex needs in forensic and disability contexts. I have also held senior roles within multidisciplinary teams, strengthening my commitment to thoughtful, ethical, and high‑quality care.

My focus is on understanding each person’s story and what they hope to change or strengthen in their life. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely listened to. Together, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface, build insight, and develop practical strategies that support your wellbeing in a sustainable and meaningful way.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I work at your pace, focusing on what feels achievable and relevant to you. I’m fluent in English and Arabic and have extensive experience supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming at times. I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, heard, and supported during the therapy process, and focus on helping clients develop insight, build skills, and feel more confident managing the challenges they are facing.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a range of presentations including difficulties with emotion regulation, challenging behaviours and trauma, as well as neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. I have a particular interest in neurodiversity, including how ADHD and autism can present differently in women and impact identification, support, and treatment, and the relationship between neurodiversity and trauma.

I am also passionate about supporting parents and families through education, strategies and family sessions to help foster positive child and family wellbeing and improve day to day functioning.

I am a client-centred, warm and empathic clinician with over 25 years of experience working across a wide variety of settings with both individuals and couples. I work with each client in a compassionate and non-judgemental manner, creating a genuinely safe and confidential space.

People come to therapy at different times in their lives and for many different reasons. I begin by taking the time to understand what has brought you to therapy, the psychological concerns you are experiencing, and what you would like support with.

From there, I will work collaboratively with you to identify possible underlying causes of your current concerns and develop a treatment plan that reflects your individual needs. This may involve a more structured approach or a more psychodynamic approach, depending on what is most appropriate for you.

I am a psychologist who works with adolescents and adults experiencing a range of emotional, behavioural, and mental health difficulties. I have experience supporting individuals, across the lifespan, within community, forensic, paediatric, and healthcare settings and have worked with people presenting with concerns including anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma-related difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, substance use concerns, life transitions, and behavioural difficulties.

My approach to therapy is flexible and tailored to the individual. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and work collaboratively with clients to understand their experiences, identify goals, and develop strategies that support change. I value creating a therapeutic space where people feel comfortable showing up as themselves and where challenges can be explored openly, safely, and without judgement.

I recognise that reaching out for support can feel like a significant step. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an important part of my work, and I aim to create an environment where clients feel supported while building insight, strengthening existing skills, and developing new ways of responding to challenges.

I draw on evidence-based approaches and adapt therapy to each person's individual needs, strengths, and goals to support meaningful and lasting change.
