Hello! I’m Jackie,
My story
I’ve been on both sides of the therapeutic journey – as a client and as a counsellor. Like many of the young people I work with, I faced challenges during my formative years. That experience taught me something crucial: healing begins with trust and understanding, not judgment.
That’s what guides my work today.
I specialise in supporting young people (12-25) navigating crisis behaviours, mental health challenges, and life transitions. I also work with parents who want to understand the patterns driving the chaos and heal their own triggers, so they can show up grounded instead of reactive.
I currently work as a Youth and Family Counsellor while running a private practice. I’ve been a school counsellor and worked as a Family Law Counsellor. I understand the crisis moments, the systems, and what it takes to navigate both.
Whether I’m working with your teen, supporting you as a parent, or both, this work is about building capacity in the whole family system. That’s where real change happens.
