Jason Beard

BA, GDAP, M Couns Psych

As a Psychologist, I am caring, curious and results-focused. I have Masters level qualifications (since 2002) and experience in a wide variety of therapeutic approaches utilising evidence-based methods. I have worked with a diverse range of clients in both the private and public sectors including hands-on consulting in the corporate world.

I believe that therapy is not just about insight; it’s what we do with that insight that matters.

The foundation of all effective psychotherapy is a good working relationship between the client and therapist - based on empathy, warmth, and positive regard.  I balance the evidence-based science of psychology with the art of counselling by listening attentively to understand you, your situation, thoughts, and feelings.

​Our initial discussions enable me to decide which strategies may be best to help you achieve positive change. We will work together toward your goals and as you progress, I will make sure that you are happy with the therapy. ​

Together we can help to solve a personal problem, feel better and improve your relationships; to lead you to a more enjoyable, rewarding and productive life.

Of course, sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who understands. Simply attending a general counselling session is available. ​ I have training and experience in:

•  Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

• Self Psychology

• and Systemic Family Therapy

Each approach used is important, however, research indicates the most critical factor in therapy is how well you work with your particular therapist. I am here to help you.
