Jayde Lecerf, AASW

Jayde Lecerf is a compassionate and dedicated therapist based in Australia who brings a holistic outlook informed by study in Psychology and Social Work. Her listed credential is AASW, which stands for the Australian Association of Social Workers, and she has three years of experience working in mental health.

She cultivates a warm, gentle presence in sessions and uses a strength-based stance that focuses on building the skills and resources a person already has. Grounded in person-centred principles, Jayde offers a non-judgemental space where people are treated as experts in their own lives and encouraged to explore what matters most to them.

Jayde has clinical experience providing counselling for anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, substance misuse, family and domestic violence, and trauma-related issues. Her background in suicide prevention informs her ability to support people through particularly challenging periods, and she draws on a range of evidence-based approaches to suit individual needs.

In practice she helps clients understand what is happening for them, develop practical skills to manage difficulties, and connect with personal values to guide change. Jayde aims to offer meaningful support and looks forward to working collaboratively with people seeking change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps towards a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. It can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the person to explore their own resources and directions. This approach suits those seeking a collaborative, strengths-based pace for working through personal concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic and mood disturbances.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jayde works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences, and appropriately qualified or registered professionals can adjust techniques over time as things change.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, and therapists can use the same therapeutic approaches effectively across different remote formats.
