Senior Clinical Psychologist, Practice Manager

Dr Kellie Jacques

Hi, my name is Kellie and I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience in mental health, supporting children, young people, and adults through a range of emotional and psychological challenges.

I have expertise in helping people through anxiety, low mood, OCD, psychosis, and the effects of difficult life experiences, among others.

I have a particular interest in working with people who have experienced ongoing trauma.

I support individuals to process how these experiences may have shaped their sense of self- including their identity, feelings of shame, and self-criticism- while also exploring how those experiences do not have to define who they are moving forward.

I am experienced in working adaptively and inclusively with neurodivergent individuals.

I help individuals understand and thrive with their diagnosis, while exploring how their neurodivergence may be uniquely interacting with their mental health.

To achieve this, I will work collaboratively with you to develop a shared understanding of your challenges. I love to learn about your strengths and interests so that together we can create a therapy plan that feels both meaningful and supportive.

My therapeutic approach primarily draws on second- and third-wave models of CBT, including Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.

I also integrate systemic ideas to build a rich understanding of the factors impacting on an individual’s wellbeing.

My areas of specific interest are:

  • Anxiety
  • Autism
  • Children and Adolescents
  • Depression
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Psychosis
  • Self Esteem
  • Sexual Abuse
  • Trauma and PTSD
