Holistic Psychotherapy
& Counselling
There is a safe and sane way through.
If you are white-knuckling your way through your days — fighting to hold on — maybe there is another way. The changes you are terrified of might be exactly what is needed. Breakdown to break through, as the old adage goes. There is a way to let that happen that is held, witnessed, and safe.
We are not meant to cross these passages alone.
I work primarily with women at thresholds — navigating grief, identity shifts, creative high and low seasons, motherhood, burnout, or the sense that something in their life is changing and cannot be ignored.
I offer holistic psychotherapy grounded in process-oriented and humanistic therapy. My work is relational, trauma-sensitive, and eco-feminist, with close attention to the wisdom of the body and the stories we carry. This is depth-oriented work — reflective and relational rather than crisis-driven.
The work
Coming into right relationship with yourself.
Many people come to therapy believing they need to work on themselves — their anger, their sensitivity, their big feelings. As we slow down, it often becomes clear that many of our responses are sane reactions to the damaging power structures we are living inside.
Real care and love for the self — especially for women — can be a steady refusal to internalise what was shaped by unjust systems. It is a way of reclaiming dignity and choice.
We pay attention to patterns, dreams, recurring tensions, and the deeper thread running through your life. We take the body seriously as a primary source of knowing. We move at the pace your nervous system can manage.
Grief work is the work of the everyday — multi-layered, spiralling, never finished. Being held in that marginalised grief, witnessed without rush or fixing, is often the most important thing that happens in therapy.
Your future self is already out there, drawing you toward her through time. Your past self is a keeper of signs, a weaver of the myths that tell you who you are. Imagination is the bridge between them. In our work together we use the full range — story, image, body, dream, metaphor, the sacred ordinary — to help you hear what your own depths are already trying to tell you.
How it works
Reach out for a free 20-minute initial meeting — just a conversation to see if we feel like a good fit. No pressure, no commitment.
If it feels right for both of us, we book your first full session. 90 minutes, online via Zoom. You can be in your own home, your own chair, your own cup of tea. You can be in pjs, in a blanket burrito. You can be as raw as you like.
We begin. There is no fixed number of sessions — the work takes its own time. Most people find a rhythm of weekly or fortnightly sessions, at least to begin.
“Jade is an utterly unique and talented therapist. Her depth of understanding and connection with others is like a rare gem. There is nothing surface level about Jade and the people she works with benefit from her wisdom, creativity and spirituality.”
— Katrina de Laszlo, Holistic Psychotherapist
“Jade's lived experience of trauma recovery infuses her presence with a rare depth. Through precise and evocative language that lands like medicine, she reflects new possibilities back to those she supports. She is a gifted therapist.”
— Elise Clement, Psychotherapist & Matrescence Practitioner
sessions & fees
I offer 90 minute individual therapy sessions online via Zoom, available Monday–Thursday with flexible times to accommodate different time zones. I also offer immersive in-person sessions in nature on Dharawal Country, in the Northern Illawarra — available by arrangement, please enquire for rates.
I offer sessions on a sliding fee scale.
I trust you to know where you sit. No questions asked. A limited number of supported rate spots are available each week.
Unfortunately, counselling and psychotherapy are not currently covered under Medicare's Mental Health Care Plan, nor by most private health insurers, though advocacy efforts are ongoing.
-
If you have financial stability, savings, or expendable income. Paying this rate directly sustains my ability to offer lower rates to others. This is the true cost of the work.
-
If you meet your basic needs but have little left over. This offering is received with equal gratitude.
-
If you are living with financial hardship — precarious housing, significant debt, no savings. This rate exists because access to support matters regardless of circumstances.

FAQs
I've never done therapy before. Is that okay?Completely. Many of my clients come to therapy for the first time in their 30s or 40s. You don't need to know how it works or what to say. You just need to show up, as you are, how ever you are feeling on the day.
Can therapy online really work?
Yes — genuinely. Many clients find that being in their own space actually helps them feel safer and more open. The connection is real. The depth is real. We make the container together.
What if I've had bad experiences with therapy before?
Not all therapy, and not all therapists, are the same. My work is non-directive (you are the expert of your life), non-pathologising (there is nothing ‘wrong’ with you), and deeply relational (our connection is important). If past therapy felt cold, clinical or critical — this will feel different.
