Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical

Jessica believes in creating a space that’s honest, down-to-earth, and genuinely supportive, more like a meaningful conversation than a checklist. She supports you to make lasting change instead of using "quick fixes" that stop working. There’s room for warmth, honesty, even humour, because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

Jessica works collaboratively to figure out what works for you and enhances your well-being. She tailors the work to suit each person's unique needs, adjusting as things evolve. There’s no pressure to get it perfect; just a steady commitment to helping you feel stronger, more clear-headed, and back in the driver’s seat.

Evidence-Based Approaches at Affinity Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented, evidence-based treatment widely used in Melbourne and beyond to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviours. By changing these patterns, CBT improves emotional regulation and reduces psychological distress. It’s especially effective in grief counselling, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. At Affinity Therapy, our registered psychologist tailors CBT approaches to your individual needs. Contact us today to learn more about CBT for anxiety in Melbourne's northern suburbs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that helps individuals accept difficult emotions and clarify their values to live a more meaningful life. Particularly effective for managing anxiety, life transitions, and emotional distress, ACT encourages committed action aligned with personal values. At Affinity Therapy in Melbourne, we offer tailored ACT sessions to support your mental health journey. Contact us today to learn more.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) focuses on helping individuals develop coping strategies for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Skills aim to balance acceptance and change, teaching people to manage emotions and improve relationships while fostering self-awareness and resilience. As a counselling psychologist, I integrate DBT techniques to support individuals experiencing overwhelming emotions.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Exposure therapy is a psychological treatment designed to help individuals confront and gradually desensitise themselves to feared situations, objects, or thoughts in a controlled and systematic way. Often used to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, and PTSD, exposure therapy aims to reduce avoidance behaviours and anxiety over time. At Affinity Therapy in Melbourne, our experienced psychologists provide tailored exposure therapy sessions to help you regain control. Contact us today to learn more.

Mindfulness-Based Interventions

Mindfulness is the practice of paying focused, non-judgmental attention to the present moment, often through breathing and grounding exercises. It helps cultivate greater awareness, emotional regulation, and create a deeper connection to the present, reducing stress and enhancing well-being. Many individuals seeking counselling find mindfulness techniques useful in managing anxiety and emotional distress.
