Through this generalist model Jeremy has a fantastic understanding around how corporate, health, government and community organisations overlap and work to better support clients explore holistic approaches to long term treatment across chronic health, physical injuries and long-term mental health issues.

Within individual practice with clients Jeremy’s focus is to develop skills to allow people to become their own therapists and coaches, helping people to identify where small changes can change their lives for the better.

Jeremy works flexibly between skills and strategies from many approaches to target and work with client focused goals whatever they may be. Sessions are designed to be flexible, engaging and enjoyable to support clients to solve problems ongoing for themselves.

Jeremy says:

I acknowledge that life is a struggle but that there are always moments that we can choose to use. In my sessions, I try to touch upon the difficult questions in life with positivity, humour and insight.

I have extensive experience with assisting people in transitional spaces (job, relationship, changes in health status and other big changes) and utilise positive psychology which puts the client into the driver’s seat.

I work with several different styles of therapy within my practice and, generally, I will lean into all of them throughout my engagement with clients. Ultimately my goal is to develop psychological flexibility by providing new and improved ways of engaging with our internal worlds to set us up to be more in touch with what is going on around us. I use a trauma-informed lens working with:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
  • Coaching Psychology
  • Positive Psychology
  • Solution Focused Therapy

I work with a diverse group of clients from a variety of backgrounds including a large diversity of presentations across Medicare, Private Practice, NDIS and EAP services. I have a passion for working with adults and young adults with the following presentations:

  • ADHD
  • Anxiety
  • Chronic pain
  • Chronic health conditions
  • Depression
  • Grief and loss
  • Trauma
  • Transitions (study, work, life and other adjustments)
  • Interpersonal skills
  • Vocational counselling
  • Workplace stress
