Jesse Martin-Allan 

Psychologist  BA(Hons)

 

 

I am a registered psychologist currently completing my PhD in clinical psychology, with a focus on mindfulness and compassion meditation. I have worked in a range of services including child and adolescent mental health, private practice and inpatient hospital settings. I have a particular interest in working with adolescents and young adults, as I believe these formative years are when we are most able to shape our identity for the better.

In supporting my clients, I strive  to be as present, receptive and empathetic as possible. When battling with mental illness I believe that having someone in your corner who genuinely wants to help can assist with building a strong foundation for recovery. Thus, I encourage regular feedback and in order to build a therapeutic relationship that is both collaborative and open. I also have a strong focus on setting relevant goals that are informed by a thorough conceptualisation of problem areas, and aim to regularly monitor therapy in relation to these goals. I encourage my clients to draw upon their own innate coping strategies, as well as techniques which I am familiar with in order to achieve these goals. I have experience working with Mindfulness-Based approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
