Jess is a Registered Psychologist who enjoys working alongside children, young people, and their families to support emotional wellbeing, self-understanding, and participation in the things that matter to them.

with my nose in a book, my hands in the garden, trying out new recipes, or convincing myself that buying another fidget is a sensible decision. A good book, good food, and a bit of sunshine are my recipe for a great day.
