Something isn't working — in your relationship, or in how you relate to yourself. Maybe you're stuck in a cycle you can't seem to break, struggling to feel close to your partner, or carrying old wounds that show up in every connection you try to make.
I'm Jess, a relationship counsellor specialising in attachment, couples therapy, and individual wellbeing. I work with people across Australia via telehealth, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Attachment-based therapy — three of the most research-supported approaches for creating lasting change in relationships.
I've supported hundreds of individuals and couples to move from conflict and disconnection to genuine closeness and confidence. Sessions are online and flexible, with evening appointments available.

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychosocial Therapy Looks at how social and environmental factors affect psychological health. It emphasizes relationships, community, and resilience.
Approach Description: I work collaboratively and at your pace. In early sessions, we focus on understanding what's actually going on — not just the surface presenting issue, but the underlying patterns and emotional needs driving it. I combine person-centred warmth with structured, evidence-based tools from EFT, Gottman, and ACT so sessions feel both safe and purposeful. Most clients notice a shift within the first few sessions.
