   About Jayde

   Jayde Lecerf is an AASW social worker who offers warm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship strain. She writes in a gentle, strength-based way and helps clients build on what already works in their lives. Jayde aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and able to talk through what matters most to them.

   Jayde trained in psychology and social work, and she draws on both backgrounds to take a broad view of each person’s situation. She uses person-centred listening so clients guide the pace and focus of sessions. That means conversations often start with what feels most urgent and move toward clearer, manageable goals.

   Her clinical work covers depression, mood and panic difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping problems, self-harm and trauma-related concerns. Jayde has experience responding to domestic and family violence and supporting people with substance and alcohol issues. She aims to help people understand what is happening for them and learn practical skills to cope.

   Therapeutic methods Jayde uses include motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour approaches. These are mixed to suit each person’s needs, with an emphasis on values and what a person wants their life to look like.

   With three years of professional experience in mental health, Jayde offers clear, down-to-earth support. She encourages small, steady steps and works collaboratively to find what helps most.

2. How Jayde uses therapeutic approaches online

   Jayde often draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people explore their readiness for change and resolve mixed feelings about taking steps forward. This approach uses curious, non-judgemental conversation to uncover personal reasons for change and to build motivation.
   
   She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on actions that reflect their values. Client-Centred Therapy is another key influence, where listening and respect guide the work and clients direct the pace and topics.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jayde will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. That means initial sessions are about finding what fits best and adjusting as progress is made.
   
   Session format details are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can suit people who prefer talking from familiar surroundings or need to save time between commitments, and Jayde will talk through practical arrangements when you schedule.
