Jade Peterson

Jade Peterson is a PACFA-registered psychotherapist with a decade of diverse experience in counselling in various roles, working with clients across the lifespan. She offers a trauma-informed, relationally supportive space where clients can explore presenting issues and what may arise in the moment. Jade’s intention is to empower clients to find their own answers, to engage with life more fully, become more coherent, and ultimately sustain lasting change. 

Jade views clients’ challenges and trauma with compassion and endeavours to be a therapeutic companion who listens deeply. Importantly, she gives kind support to navigate the complexities that may arise. Her approach is client-led and integrative, with each session tailored to meet clients where they are. She incorporates a range of evidence-based and holistic approaches, including person-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT), attachment-focused work, somatic therapies, mindfulness techniques, and creative approaches. Jade provides an in-depth treatment of your particular presentation and works collaboratively to genuinely understand what it means to be you. 

Jade views clients through a systemic lens, acknowledging that the self is profoundly shaped by relationships, family, and broader societal systems. At the heart of her practice is a focus on fostering the client’s sense of wholeness and instilling hope. Furthermore, she encourages integration, transformation and post-traumatic growth after adversity, disconnection and hopelessness.
