Jaki has been our casual client support officer for over five years. Jaki understands that our clients, often young humans, may feel vulnerable or anxious, a sentiment shared by their parents and carers.
With a focus on child psychology, Jaki strives to provide a safe and welcoming space for everyone. She believes that children and teens surprise and inspire her daily with their remarkable resilience and endless curiosity. It is truly rewarding to witness the kids grow, heal, learn, and become happier versions of themselves through collaboration with our skilled and nurturing psychologists, including those specializing in clinical psychology and family therapy.
