About Jacqueline

I am the mother of 2 adult children and grandmother to 2 beautiful grandchildren, 4 cats and 2 dogs.  I love escaping to nature when I can with my husband, spending as much time as I can with family, enjoying a local red wine with a meal and watching movies.  I enjoy reading, crashing in front of Netflix, listening to an eclectic range of music and meditation.

My work history includes working with intellectually disabled adults before spending 16 years in management at a large retail company head office.  Psychology has always been my passion, so I returned to study while working full time as a mature age student. 

After completing my degrees and placements with the Access Team, Primary Mental Health Partners (adults) and the Department of Education (children), I worked in public mental health.  This work included delivery of services to adults and children under the ATAPS model which provided services to low income clients.

Welcome to our service

I am very excited to work with you in a warm, supportive environment to help you achieve your mental health goals.


I believe everyone should receive access to quality evidence based assessment and  treatment that is adjusted to your individual needs.


There are a number of tools that have been found to be effective in the treatment and management of mental health issues.  By learning how to use these tools yourself, you become empowered.


Transcendent Psychology recently moved just around the corner from Star St to Gheringhap St.  This is just a short walk from the Geelong train station or from town.  We are now located in unit 1 of  the lovely old terrace houses in Gheringhap St, directly across the road from the Rydges.


The terrace houses were build in 1887 and further details on the history of the site can be reviewed at: TERRACE HISTORY
