Hi everyone! 👋🏽
I’m Jessica Carstairs, director/psychologist at Lilac Psychology and I thought I’d introduce myself!
📜 I’m a registered psychologist trained in clinical psychology (currently a clinical psychology registrar).
🇫🇷|🇦🇺 I am based in beautiful Melbourne, Australia. I am French and grew up both in Paris, France, and London, UK.
✅ I provide psychology and counselling services to adults & adolescents experiencing a range of mental health difficulties or simply looking to grow and work on their own personal development.
❓Are you wondering why people seek help from a psychologist or a therapist? People go to therapy for a range of reasons including improving mood and wellbeing, working on personal growth, addressing mental health difficulties, increasing confidence, achieving goals, working through difficult emotions or traumatic experiences, or seeking support and clarity while making an important decision or navigating life transitions.
❤️ What do I love about my job? I am really passionate about helping people to reconnect with themselves and utilise their own strengths and values to take action and make life-changing differences in their lives. I really enjoy building and nurturing a therapeutic relationship and a space in which my clients feel safe and free of judgement. A space where they can explore themselves and grow. My style is very much collaborative and person-centred. Meaning that I tailor my approach to individual needs and that I see therapy as team work.
🔆 What are my strengths as a therapist? I like to think that I am authentic, open-minded, truly caring, and that I can be humorous at times!
🌸 What do I enjoy outside of psychology? I love travelling and discovering different cultures, listening to music, cooking, photography, eating out, and spending quality time with family, friends, and pets! 🐶🐱🐱
