Holistic Approach to Mental Health
At Jakki Ulrick Psychology, we take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing that physical, emotional, and spiritual health are interconnected. We work with our clients to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all aspects of their well-being. This includes nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other lifestyle factors that can impact mental health.
Trauma-Informed Care
We understand that many of our clients have experienced trauma, which can impact their mental health and well-being. Jakki Ulrick provides trauma-informed care to help clients feel safe and supported during their therapy sessions. Jakki has specialized training in trauma-focused therapies, including EMDR and trauma focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Trauma Therapy
Our trauma therapy sessions are designed to help clients heal from the effects of trauma, such as PTSD, childhood abuse, and sexual assault. We use evidence-based treatments, such as EMDR and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), to help clients process their trauma and develop coping skills to manage symptoms.
Addiction Recovery
Our addiction recovery sessions are designed to help clients overcome substance use disorders and other addictive behaviours. We use evidence-based treatments, such as motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), to help clients identify triggers, develop coping skills, and maintain sobriety. Harm minimisation strategies are also a focus, particularly when sobriety is not the goal for the client, but adopting safe measures and reduction are.
Grief and Loss
Our grief and loss sessions help clients process the emotional pain of losing a loved one or experiencing other significant losses. We provide clients with a supportive and compassionate space to express their feelings and work through the grieving process.
Identity Exploration
Our identity sessions help clients explore their cultural, gender, sexual and value-based identity and its impact on their mental health and well-being. We help clients understand the ways in which their identity and family background shapes their beliefs and values, and work with them to develop strategies to manage social stressors and build resilience.
Adolescents and Children
It can be difficult growing up and navigating school, relationships, parental expectations, social media, and employment. Support is provided to children who are having some difficulties adjusting to certain areas in their life. We also provide support to teens who are figuring things out and need some encouragement and guidance. Mental health assessments and psychoeducational assessments can be provided. Jakki specialises in children who are in Care of the Department of Child Safety and offers flexible ways of engaging reluctant participants. Support is also provided to carers.
LGBTIQ+ Support
Our LGBTIQ+ sessions are designed to provide a safe and supportive space for LGBTIQ+ individuals to explore the unique challenges they face. We work with clients to address issues such as coming out, family and relationship dynamics, and discrimination; and provide them with the tools they need to build a fulfilling and authentic life.
Self-harm
Self-harm can be a confronting and worrying issue to deal with for both adolescents and their parents/carers. Jakki can help families gain understanding of this behaviour and assist the adolescent to develop more adaptive coping strategies and harm minimisation techniques.
Parenting Aid
Connection is paramount for children and their parents. Our parenting support sessions provide parents with the tools and strategies they need to navigate the challenges of raising children. We help parents develop effective communication skills, set boundaries, and build healthy relationships with their children.
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
