Jade can support clients experiencing:
Jade uses a flexible, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach tailored to each client. Her practice draws on mindfulness-based therapies, motivational interviewing, behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, psychodynamic therapy, art therapy, creative therapy and play therapy.
She works collaboratively with clients to create sessions that reflect their preferred communication and engagement styles, with a strong focus on emotional safety, inclusion and personal choice.
“I offer a non-directive, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming approach that recognises your individual strengths, communication preferences and lived experiences. I work collaboratively with you to shape sessions in a way that feels safe, inclusive, nurturing and genuinely supportive.”

You do not need a referral to book with us. A Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP may allow you to claim a Medicare rebate for sessions with an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. If you would like one, your GP can prepare it for you.
Our session fees and current Medicare rebate amounts are available on our booking page. For some clients, seeing an AMHSW under Medicare may reduce out-of-pocket costs.
This is social work support delivered within a supervised practice. Medicare-funded clinical care is available with our Accredited Mental Health Social Workers. If you are looking for non-clinical wellbeing support, our Wellbeing Coaches sit in a separate service.
Yes. Our practice is trauma-informed and recovery-oriented. You are never pushed to share more than you are ready for, and we work with you at the pace that feels right.
Both can support people experiencing mental health challenges. Under a Mental Health Treatment Plan, Medicare rebates may be available with eligible psychologists and Accredited Mental Health Social Workers. A social worker often brings a particular strength in working with trauma, family and relationships, and in helping you navigate the systems and services around your situation. A psychologist often brings particular depth in diagnosis, assessment and structured therapy. We can help you think through which suits you best.
