More about Jude

  • 7 years' experience

  • ACA

At the heart of my counselling practice are my core values of respect, care and compassion.

I create a safe, supportive and empathic space where we can unpack life's challenges.

My approach is always centred around individual needs.

I prefer video or phone sessions and like to use a combination of therapeutic approaches including creative therapies, emotion-focused therapies, mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy.

My experience includes working with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, relationship issues, elder abuse, mental health challenges, addictions, life transitions and grief and loss (including pets).

I have a Bachelor of Counselling (USC), and various short courses in Grief, Addictions, Mindfulness, Anxiety and Depression.

My experience includes:

-Crisis counselling for victims of cyber-crime including grief and loss, anxiety and depression

- Relationships Australia: supporting clients who were experiencing elder abuse.

-Lifeline crisis counsellor

-Group counselling facilitator – depression, anxiety, grief and mental health issues

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
