Hi, I’m Jemima Clarke - counsellor, southern Sydney local, mum of three, lover of coffee, chocolate, kookaburras, and trail running... and fellow human figuring out life one messy, beautiful day at a time.

​

Life gets confusing and overwhelming - but you don’t have to face it alone. That’s why I created The Counselling Cove: a space to pause, breathe, and sort through what matters, your way.

 

I’m a fully qualified and registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and hold a Master of Counselling from the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC).

 

My experience spans community counselling, bereavement services, hospitals, and crisis support, and I know first-hand how tough it can be to reach out for help. But I also know how powerful that first step can be.

 

I support clients through all sorts of challenges - grief and loss, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. I have also worked in group programs focused around trauma recovery and have particular interest in supporting clients reach their full potential after these experiences.

​

​My approach is integrative, which means that I can utilise a mix of therapeutic styles, dependent on your individual needs and preferences. I draw from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, and Self-Compassion.

 

And because I believe healing doesn’t always have to happen sitting across from each other in a room, I also offer Walk and Talk Therapy - because sometimes, movement and fresh air make all the difference.​
