About Jayde

AASW social worker with three years' experience, Jayde Lecerf works in Australia with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and mood concerns. She commonly supports those dealing with grief, relationship strain, sleep and eating problems, anger and major life changes. Jayde uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her practice.

Jayde aims to build on a person’s existing strengths and skills. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on what matters most to the client. She works collaboratively, helping people name priorities and try small changes between sessions.

Her background includes training in psychology and social work and a professional credential from the Australian Association of Social Workers, AASW. That mixed background informs a range of techniques she draws on in sessions. Jayde says values and practical skills both guide her work.

When someone is struggling with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, substance misuse or family and domestic violence, Jayde brings clinical experience and an emphasis on safety and practical coping. She aims to help clients understand patterns and to build skills for managing strong emotions and urges.

Typical sessions include problem-focused work such as managing panic, reducing alcohol or drug use, building healthy routines, addressing body image and working through trauma-related symptoms. She encourages short, actionable goals and regular review of progress.

People interested in starting will find a direct, practical approach that balances skill-building with listening and personal values. To begin, follow the online matching and scheduling steps for a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they value and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and for coping with ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jayde will discuss these methods with clients and decide together which techniques match the person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may mix approaches as needs become clearer.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week because they reduce travel time and can be easier to schedule around work or school. They also make it possible to have shorter check-ins when needed and to use video or audio depending on what suits the person in the moment. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can adapt exercises, worksheets and skill practice for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
