Jessica Bakon
Psychotherapist
Hi, I’m Jessy. I’m a warm, compassionate and passionate therapist dedicated to supporting adolescents and young adults through life’s challenges. I value creating a safe, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood and supported to make meaningful change.
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) from the University of New South Wales and a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have experience across hospitals, schools and eating disorder services, giving me a broad understanding of the many factors that can influence mental health and wellbeing.
I enjoy working with young people and take a collaborative, strengths-based approach tailored to each individual. I integrate evidence-based therapy with creative and engaging strategies to help you feel comfortable and supported throughout the therapeutic process.
I support adolescents and young adults experiencing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, school-related challenges, self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, stress, relationship issues, body image concerns and difficulties with food and eating.
I am a qualified Social Worker (AASW), Counsellor and Psychotherapist (PACFA), and an ANZAED Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician. I draw on evidence-based approaches while adapting therapy to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.
Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, particularly by the water, practising yoga, enjoying a good café, and spending time with my family, friends and dachshund.
