About Me
AMHSW BASW (Hons) & Master Mental Health (Family Therapy) Clinical Member AAFT. Clinical Supervisor AAFT
Accredited Mental Health Social Worker | Clinical Family Therapist | Supervisor
Hi. My name is Jessica White. I have been supporting individuals and families and specialising in trauma, mental health and the Perinatal period for 15 years.
I help individuals and families to work with their strengths to get to a place where they feel connected with themselves, their family and relationships. The integration of my evidence based trauma approaches and view of keeping the whole family in mind is an approach that considers what happened to you or what does family life look like for you- opposed to 'what is wrong with you'.
My approach is warm, friendly and informed by evidence based approaches. New clients often comment that they find it easy to connect with me, which I personally feel is the best compliment a counsellor can receive. Everyone is welcome here and I aim to create a safe and fun space for clients and their families.
