Dr Jaeva Shelley
I work together with clients to help them understand how their experiences and their beliefs about themselves impact their day to day lives, not only in how they see and interpret themselves in the world, but how they relate to others.
Education
- Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology), University of New England
- Master of Professional Psychology, University of New England
- Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours 1st class)
- Psychology Board-Approved Supervisor
- Member of Australian Psychological Society
I provide treatment for a range of issues, including depression and anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, and trauma. I am also a psychology board-approved supervisor.
I also work with parents on how to understand and support their child effectively. This includes working with families and children around challenging behaviours, providing developmentally appropriate education and guidance around supporting children and managing challenging behaviours.
Therapeutic style
In my work with families, I work to facilitate deeper connections, safety, and trust, and repair fractured emotional bonds.
In work with children and teenagers, I am approachable and inviting, supporting them to understand and manage their emotions, life changes, and challenging or traumatic experiences.
Modality and approach
My approach to working with all clients is underpinned by attachment theory, family systems theory, and cognitive-behavioural theory.
I have training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Emotionally Focussed Therapy and use these modalities to effectively meet the needs of my clients.
I have experience working with people with trauma backgrounds, and training in Trauma Focussed-CBT and Prolonged Exposure.
What book have you read more than once?
“Poisonwood Bible.” If I had more time (and bravery) I would like to read “Demon Copperhead”, “A Fine Balance”, and “A Little Life” again.
What makes you happy?
My work – I genuinely enjoy my work and it makes me very happy. Personally, my partner and my children.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your mental and emotional well-being?
Laugh!
