Just as plants will instinctively grow under optimal conditions, I believe humans will not only heal, but innately flourish if given the chance.
Hello
My name is Jack Kelly (he/him).
I’m a Certified Practising Counsellor with the Psychotherapy And Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), offering therapy to Brisbane/Meanjin and beyond. I aim to create supportive, relational conditions, where the innate growth that lies within everyone can take place.
Engaging in therapy, I believe, is one of the bravest, most beneficial things anyone can do and I approach each one of my clients with the anticipation of positive transformations.
Welcome to my practice.
Providing you with a safe space to talk
I’m committed to creating a warm, inviting space where diversity in all its forms is respected and celebrated. No matter your background, beliefs, or traditions, you’ll be valued, understood, and empowered to be your authentic self.
The Therapist I Am | The Areas I Focus On
Emotion Focussed. Relational. Person Centered.
By fostering a relational environment and making room for your emotions, I aim to create a dynamic and explorative therapy process—one that encourages new insights and meaningful change, rather than relying on rigid techniques or coping strategies.
LGBTQIA+ Challenges
My heart lies with supporting my LGBTQIA+ community through the specific challenges we face. Coming out, dealing with societal or familial rejection, managing internalised stigma, engaging in healthy romantic relationships or exploring gender and sexuality are difficult to understand on our own. Having someone who understands the unique experiences of our community and the weight of anxiety, heartache and lonliness can make a meaningful difference.
High-Functioning Anxiety
Coping strategies such as perfectionism, overthinking, people pleasing and sacrificing one’s own needs can often form a constellation known as High-Functioning Anxiety. If this sounds like you I’m here to help. By prioritising your needs, soothing your inner critic and exploring the roots of these long-standing patterns - often shaped in childhood - we can make room for another, more expansive tool in your toolkit: self-compassion.
“Stuckness”
Sometimes we can feel like we’re just getting by, but not truly flourishing. If you're at a crossroads, coming out of a relationship, or just feel like something’s missing - even if you can’t pinpoint what - it’s possible to feel some “stuckness”. By first uncovering the cause of this stuckness, which more often than not can be emotional, we’ll then rediscover you - your values, strengths, and desires. Helping people on their path back to themselves is one of my favourite journeys.
