MEET JACQUI
Professional guidance.
A human connection.
My approach combines professional knowledge, lived experience and practical tools. I draw on evidence-informed techniques, attachment-informed relationship work, Gottman Method training, Sensory Intelligence® and psychoeducation.
Our work begins with understanding your circumstances and considering what support might be helpful for you.
SENSORY INTELLIGENCE®
Understand your sensory world.
Everyday environments can affect how we feel, connect and recharge. The Sensory Matrix explores your sensory patterns, strengths and needs, helping you understand their influence on daily wellbeing and relationships.
