She completed her Bachelor of Psychological Sciences with Honours degree at La Trobe University (Melbourne) in 2011 and her Master of Clinical Psychology degree at Griffith University (Gold Coast) in 2019. Her cross cultural life experiences, professional work history in health care improvement and academic research evaluating post-traumatic stress of resettled refugees has seen her work effectively with individuals of all backgrounds.

Jemima believes that her role in therapy is to support individuals in discovering their inner strength to overcome adversity while equipping them with practical strategies to deal with life’s difficulties. She typically works with clients aged 18 years and over using a variety of evidence-based techniques, depending on client preference and suitability.
