Feeling not good enough
Many people do not come to therapy saying, “I don’t feel good enough.”
More often, they come because they feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer seem to be working. They may be struggling in relationships, feeling constantly responsible for everyone else, finding it difficult to switch off, or noticing patterns around work, perfectionism, food, alcohol, or self-criticism that feel hard to shift.
But underneath many of these difficulties is often a deeper belief that there is something wrong with them.
What I can help you with
I provide therapy for a range of emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties, including:
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.
