Jayde Lecerf, AASW

Jayde Lecerf is an AASW social worker with three years' experience in mental health. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, sleeping and eating issues, and anger. Her style is straightforward and practical.

Jayde trained in psychology and social work, and uses that background to guide sessions. She focuses on building on strengths people already have. Sessions often look at values, coping skills and small behaviour changes that make daily life easier.

Her work draws on several commonly used approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify what matters, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Motivational Interviewing for skills and motivation. She also uses client-centred ways of listening so people feel heard while they try new strategies.

Jayde has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, substance misuse, self-harm and trauma. She has worked in suicide prevention and with complex mental health concerns, including mood and personality difficulties. That background informs her practical focus on safety and useful skills.

People often come to Jayde wanting help to manage bursts of anger, reduce ongoing resentment, or cope with someone else’s strong emotions. She aims to help people notice patterns, try specific tools and practice small changes between sessions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to set priorities and goals together.
