Helping adults move from overwhelm, anxiety, and never feeling good enough towards feeling better within themselves and their relationships.
Offering clinical psychology sessions in Sydney CBD
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or stuck in patterns they cannot seem to shift, even though they have spent a long time trying to work on things themselves.
Often, they are thoughtful, capable people who are used to coping by doing more, thinking more, or pushing themselves harder. They may be managing demanding work, relationships, parenting, or family responsibilities while carrying a constant pressure to keep everything together and a feeling that they are somehow falling short.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, difficult relationship dynamics, emotional overwhelm, burnout, self-esteem difficulties, and longstanding patterns that leave them feeling responsible for everyone and everything around them.
A lot of the people I work with are not necessarily looking for quick fixes. More often, they want to better understand themselves, feel less overwhelmed by their emotions and relationships, and stop carrying the constant sense that they are not doing enough or not good enough.
What I can help you with
I provide therapy for a range of emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties, including:
• Anxiety
• Stress, overwhelm and burnout
• Feeling not good enough
• Emotional regulation difficulties
• Difficult family and relationship dynamics
• Body image and eating disorders
• ADHD
• Significant life changes and adjustments
• Trauma and attachment
Many of these experiences are deeply connected. Often, underneath anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm are longstanding patterns shaped by relationships, past experiences, and core beliefs around self-worth, responsibility, and safety.
Therapy can help you better understand those patterns, recognise what is keeping them going, and begin responding differently to yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.
My approach
I work in a calm, collaborative, thoughtful, and structured way.
I think it is important that therapy feels both supportive and useful. I want clients to feel comfortable opening up, but also to feel that the work has direction and remains connected to what matters to them.
I understand that difficult relationships, perfectionism, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and longstanding patterns are rarely simple or black and white. Therapy is not about reducing people or relationships into simplistic labels. It is about helping you make sense of what is happening underneath the surface and understanding how these patterns may have developed over time.
I draw on evidence-based approaches, including CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and DBT, depending on the person and what may feel most helpful for them.
Hi, I’m Jennifer
I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist based in Sydney CBD with over 20 years of experience across clinical psychology, psychiatric research, and organisational psychology.
I have worked in both private and public hospital settings, providing individual and group therapy, and have experience supporting people across a broad range of emotional, relational, and mental health difficulties.
My previous experience working within professional and high-pressure environments has also given me a strong understanding of the pressures many people carry in their work and personal lives, and how difficult it can be to keep functioning when things no longer feel manageable.
