As a psychologist, Jacqui has a warm, authentic and gentle manner when working with children and parents. She listens without judgment and creates a safe place for children and their parents to share their worries and concerns.  

 

She comes from a strengths based approach and incorporates the principles of positive psychology, with a future focused, pragmatic and outcome-orientated style. 

 

Jacqui helps children feel understood, articulate what they find tricky, and collaborate on the best way forward. She works together with students, parents and teachers to develop behaviour plans across contexts and with consideration given to workable solutions.

​

She has a creative and holistic approach when working with children and parents to manage issues such as:

- behavioural challenges (at home and school) 

- friendship concerns

- excessive worries 

- low self-esteem and confidence

- school refusal 

- sleep difficulties

- health related concerns (incl. encopresis, enuresis) 

- relationship difficulties

- parenting challenges 

​

Jacqui promotes resilience building and makes children feel empowered, providing strategies to support this, both at home and at school.

​

Jacqui is an accredited provider of the Triple P Stepping Stones (level 2) program which  is based on Triple P’s positive parenting strategies. It helps parents manage problem behaviour and developmental issues common in children with disability. It also helps encourage positive behaviour, cope with stress, develop a close relationship with your child and teach your child new skills. 

​

Through her experiences working at schools, Jacqui has identified a need for an external professional to act as a case manager and advocate for children accessing several support services and with other health professionals. She interprets reports into plain language, highlights the implication for students, parents and schools, and communicates these to all those working with the student.
