About me

Hi, I’m Jess — a Clinical Psychologist here at Seed. Before joining the team, I spent many years working in public mental health, supporting people with a wide range of challenges. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, interpersonal difficulties, and self-esteem issues, and I have particular interest in helping people reconnect with their values and sense of purpose. I’m passionate about helping clients build the insight and confidence they need to move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life — one small step at a time.

How I will help you

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I’ll support you in exploring what’s been getting in the way and help you build practical skills to manage distress, feel more empowered, and move closer to the life you want to live. Our work together will always be tailored to your needs, strengths, and goals.

When I’m not working

I love staying active — you’ll often find me doing yoga, jogging, or cycling. I also enjoy travelling, trying new things, and sharing good food with family and friends.

Freqeuently asked questions

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist at Seed Psychology. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With a MHCP, you may be eligible for rebates on up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be used at any psychology clinic of your choice. To access Medicare psychology rebates, book an appointment with your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan. Most referrals begin with 6 sessions, with the option to access 4 more after a review. Referrals can also be provided by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
Our client care team will support you through every step of getting started. They’ll take the time to understand your needs and preferences, then thoughtfully match you with a psychologist whose approach and availability align with what you’re looking for.

When matching you with a Psychologist, we consider:
- The reason you’re seeking therapy
- Your availability and preferred session times
- Whether you’d like to attend in person or online
- The therapeutic approaches most suited to your needs
- Any other preferences you share with us
We understand that finding the right fit is important. Building a strong relationship with your psychologist can take time, but if at any point you feel the connection isn’t quite right, we’ll support you in transferring to someone new. Your well-being is always our priority.
Our experienced team of Psychologists offers warm, evidence-based support that’s collaborative, inclusive and grounded in genuine understanding. We provide individual, relationship or family therapy for a wide range of concerns. Additionally, we offer couples therapy, online therapy, psychological assessments (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Assessments), and workshops.
If you have extras cover, private health insurance may provide rebates. Check your individual policy for coverage and claiming options.
