Hi, I'm Jess...
I'm a Parent Support Worker and Children's Mental Health Educator with a background in Counselling. I support parents to understand their child's emotions and behaviours within a warm, nonjudgemental space jam-packed with compassion.
With over 10 years experience in mental health, counselling and case management - and as a mum to two brilliant young children - I understand both the beautiful highs of parenting and the heartbreaking lows. I also know that this rollercoaster steadies when we have the right support in place.
My approach is evidence-based and grounded in attachment, neuroscience and an understanding of the nervous and sensory systems. I often work with parents feeling confused or overwhelmed by their child's BIG emotions or challenging behaviours. Parenting can be intense and you shouldn't have to figure it all out alone - that's why I'm here: to hold space for you to feel deeply heard and supported.
Together we'll explore practical, nurturing strategies that align with your family's unique needs and values. If you're seeking parenting support, I welcome you to show up exactly as you are.
Qualifications:
Bachelor of Social Science (Counselling)
A variety of other courses covering the following subjects that inform my work: the sensory systems, childhood anxiety, emotion coaching, mindfulness for children, GROW somatic training, anger and aggression, attachment play, emotion regulation, brain development, the nervous system and childhood trauma.
