Meet Jessica Young

Hello!

 

I'm Jess, a passionate and dedicated therapist here at JH Counselling & Coaching.

​

I am uniquely different; whilst I still provide the same service as all other therapists including being committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges, find clarity, and achieve personal growth I have my own personal touch and understand life’s challenges in this evolving world of ours!

​

My journey is very exceptional in itself. Having first hand experiences in dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief and so many different life challenges; overcoming extreme changes in life at each age & milestones, living a life beyond my age. Experienced extreme trauma, anxiety, depression, burn out, PTSD, panic attacks as just some examples- I get it! Which also means I understand how debilitating running these can be which also means I know how overcome these obstacles, in a way where you can thrive and not be held back!

I’ve carried out so many different methods of studies over the years and have had an amazing diverse career.

​

I first started out in Law and Finance, leading a very high-pressured career of over ten years, whilst bringing into this world two boys, becoming Mum and being told I was not able to have any more children after nearly losing my life twice and also experienced postpartum depression. Still maintaining my career, I was also running a household, continuing professional development, further full-time studies, it was no wonder why I was burnt out!

​

Over this time, I started delving into new practices, practicing Yoga, studying the philosophies of Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation training, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT – Tapping), Reiki and so much more! Upon starting my Yoga teacher training, I started making shifts in life, enjoying the benefits of what it brought to my daily life, focusing on health and exploring more into mental health, reading as many books on self-development that I could get my hands on.

​

By this point I had enough of being behind the desk and wanted more in life, I used my finance and law background, starting businesses and investments which led me to the path of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Strategic Hypnosis and Psychotherapy training & training under the best in the country who have evolved NLP & Psychotherapy to new levels today.

​

Self-development, spirituality, being different and wanting to make a difference and counsel others was something I have always done since I was able to read and write. I remember walking to the local mobile library in the small country town we once lived, once a fortnight the mobile library used to come to town, and I would walk to the park with my bag and load up with every book on healing, natural medicines, self-development & alike! I was still in primary school! Wanting to heal, help others, listen and want more for life has always been a passion of mine and something all those around me have come to me for.  No matter what I’ve done for work or personally I’ve always found myself guiding, supporting, helping and/or teaching others in some way which is where it come to light my profession is in life with my life purpose.

​

I’ve used all my teachings in my life, where I have created a life beyond my dreams, I have fulfilled my soul, I have an amazing partner & four children completing out blended family in our dream home & property, self-sufficient living off the land. Managing business, children with all different needs, a professional and personal life nevertheless I surround myself with positivity everywhere I go, my large family, beautiful friends, I have travelled the world and have adventures every week big and small! I practice what I preach & I live and experience the life I want!  

​

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time nourishing my soul whether it be on my own, with my partner, family or friends. When I’m not in the office I will be moving in some way, either the gym, walking my dog, doing work around the property or reading. One day a week I help teach Karate (self-defence) Another one of my life’s passions that goes hand in hand with my spirituality side interestingly enough- a whole other topic in itself! Weekends, usually I'll be found in nature, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in creative pursuits always filling my mind with as much information and experiences life has to offer.  These activities help me stay grounded and bring a sense of balance to my life, which I believe is essential in providing the best support to myself, which in turn gives me the opportunity to help and support all those around me!

​

I may have had difficulties in life, which I wish upon no one, but I have taken the path for a life I wanted.

I was fortunate enough to have experience and education to get me through the hardest times of life, and want everyone else to have to have the same information and support!
