Professional Biography

Hi, I'm Jacqui. I am a Community Health Nurse, Counsellor & Public Health Practitioner. I have 25 years experience working across the health system including private practice, community health, hospitals and education. I established Nursing The Mind as I believe creating a culture of care is key to improving mental health in the community.

I provide counselling for mental, physical and spiritual health needs and my special interest areas are:
- Family and professional carers
- Chronic illness management
- Institutional trauma including medical, religious and workplace trauma.

I have postgraduate qualifications in mental health and counselling, and training in a range of areas including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, chronic pain management, eating disorders, emotional regulation (DBT) and mindful self-compassion.

A Master of Public Health informs my focus on person-centred and inclusive practice. A focus on education is aimed at improving our mental health literacy to reduce stigma and create confidence for people to access the health supports they need.

I am registered with ACMHN, AHPRA, and PACFA.
