Ms Jess Burns (She/her)Psychologist

I approach therapeutic work in a genuine, warm and non-judgemental manner. I believe that every person I work with is unique, and enjoy forming genuine relationships to support people in reaching their goals, and experience fulfillment in their life and relationships. I appreciate the diversity in providing support to people of all ages and life stages, and have experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families within community mental health and private practice settings. I offer support to people experiencing depression and low mood, interpersonal problems and difficulties with relationships, anxiety and stress, challenges related to personality disorders, low self-esteem or self-worth, emotion dysregulation, adjustment and transition issues, and trauma recovery. I am also very passionate about supporting and working with LGBTQIA+ people, and culturally and linguistically diverse clients. I work with a range of client centered therapeutic approaches which are relational and emotion focused, including: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I feel that effective therapy involves more than just talking about problems, and adopt a practical and solutions-focused approach to supporting people in reaching treatment goals. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, walking in nature, boardgames, cooking, and exploring WA as a relatively new resident. If you feel that I can be of assistance to you or your family, please contact me at the practice on 6381 0071.
