Your Counsellor
Hi, I’m Jess, the counsellor behind Green Petal Counselling. I have a Bachelor of Science with a Major in Psychology and a Master of Counselling, alongside years of experience working with people from all walks of life in housing, social work, and counselling.
I feel incredibly privileged to support others through their challenges. While I have a particular passion for working with youth and young adults, I welcome anyone seeking help, no matter their age or background.
To me, counselling is about creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and valued. I deeply believe that we’re all human, and at times, we all need a little support. It’s humbling to be part of someone’s journey toward growth, resilience, and hope, and I’m here to walk that path with you.
Let’s take that first step together.
