Couples therapy
Helping couples change the patterns that keep them stuck.
Couples often seek therapy when the same arguments keep returning, communication has broken down, or closeness has been replaced by distance and frustration. Jessica offers a balanced, non-judgemental space where each partner can feel heard and the couple can begin to understand what is happening beneath the conflict.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Therapy can help partners identify recurring relationship patterns, communicate needs more clearly, respond differently during conflict and reconnect with the values they want their relationship to reflect. Jessica also supports couples navigating grief, parenting pressures, changing roles and other significant life transitions.
Areas of practice
Support shaped around the person, couple or family.
Anxiety and low mood
Evidence-based support for anxiety, depression, grief and the emotional strain that can accompany major changes.
Eating concerns and ARFID
CBT-E for eating disorders and collaborative treatment for ARFID, including work alongside GPs and dietitians where helpful.
Children, teens and parents
Support for anxiety, school refusal, autism, ADHD, emotional regulation and big feelings, with parents closely involved.
Approach and training
Structured, collaborative and evidence-based.
Jessica draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT-informed skills and CBT-E. Her work is warm, structured, neuroaffirming and trauma-informed, with treatment adapted to each client's goals and circumstances.
Before joining Clarity, Jessica worked in private practice with Medicare, NDIS, TAC and WorkCover clients across the lifespan, and with the Department of Education's Student Support Services. She works collaboratively with GPs, schools, dietitians and occupational therapists where this supports care.
