Her holistic approach to health and wellness ensures clients are educated on lifestyle changes that benefit both physical and mental health. Jeanette believes that good mental health is critical to overall health and that a healthy mind and body are essential for a fulfilling life.

Jeanette's experience as a personal trainer gave her insight into the interplay between physical and mental health. She understands how physical and mental health are intertwined and believes that physical health can be used as a tool to improve mental health. In her practice, she uses her knowledge of physical health to provide a unique and well-rounded therapy experience for her clients.

Jeanette uses a person-centred approach, primarily utilising Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), but also draws from other modalities such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
