She supports clients in understanding that conflict is a natural part of all relationships, but how we respond to it can be the true game-changer. The choices we make can either bring us closer to those we love or push us further away. Jeanette is committed to helping couples de-escalate conflict while building insight and awareness around their inner experiences and the emotional triggers that fuel negative cycles. Clients develop their own blueprint for reducing conflict and finding meaningful ways to reconnect, reset, and repair.

In 2024, Jeanette earned recognition as an Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). She holds clinical registration with PACFA and a Master’s in Counselling from the University of Canberra. Complementing her EFT expertise, Jeanette has training in neuroscience, body language, somatic therapy, the Gottman Method, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy. She is also currently completing training in clinical supervision and mindfulness-based practice.

Jeanette has worked for Australia’s national relationship organisation in areas such as the Coronial Program and Family and Relationships, supporting clients through bereavement, grief, loss, trauma, and relationship distress. She has also facilitated group programs, including Building Better Relationships and Women’s Choice and Change.

With a background in clinical pastoral care education, Jeanette spent over five years working in hospital environments, collaborating with clinical teams to provide person-centred support to both patients and staff.

Before becoming a therapist, Jeanette built a successful career in Public Relations. Holding undergraduate qualifications in communications and a postgraduate degree in International Public Relations, she worked in London before transitioning to the Australian Public Service. For the past eight years, she has been dedicated to private practice as an EFT Therapist in Canberra, supporting clients in creating deeper, more connected relationships.
