Jayde Lecerf , AASW

Jayde Lecerf is a compassionate and dedicated Australian therapist who brings a background in Psychology and Social Work to a flexible, holistic practice. She holds the AASW credential, the professional body for social workers in Australia, and has three years of experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health challenges. Jayde offers a warm, gentle presence and uses a strength-based perspective to build on each person’s existing resources while working toward meaningful goals.

Grounded in person-centered principles, Jayde prioritises creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore what matters most to them. She draws on evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor support to each individual. Her clinical experience includes work with anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, substance misuse, family and domestic violence, and trauma-related concerns, and she integrates values-focused work to help clients reconnect with what is important in their lives.

Jayde aims to collaborate with clients to understand what is happening for them and to teach practical skills for managing difficulties. She accepts new clients in Australia and looks forward to offering respectful, goal-oriented support to those seeking change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jayde uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core parts of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and difficulty coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their own solutions - it suits people seeking a respectful, collaborative space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviours, often helping with anxiety, depression, panic, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jayde works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access licensed professionals from different locations within Australia, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
