About Dr Jessica Mareld
Jessica has been a psychologist for 5 years, with 13 years’ experience working in mental health, and has practiced in a variety of settings including primary health, in-patient, community, residential and private practice.
​
She is deeply committed to meeting people where they currently are, and guiding them through evidence-based therapeutic practices tailored to each of their own unique needs and aspirations.
​
Jessica enjoys offering effective, trauma-informed psychological interventions that enrich and balance the lives of her clients and communities.
​
In her therapeutic approach, Jessica integrates psychodynamic psychotherapy, positive psychology, and humanism as theoretical frameworks, alongside cognitive and behavioural (CBT) approaches including interpersonal, narrative, and acceptance and commitment (ACT) therapies.
Informing a biopsychosocial view of mental health, Jessica's personal interests include the intersections of psychology with human evolution, history, sociology and environments alongside all things “wellbeing”.
