Jayde Lecerf

Jayde Lecerf is an AASW social worker who offers calm, practical support for people feeling alone, overwhelmed or stuck. She aims to listen without judgement and help people find small steps that make a difference. Jayde keeps language simple and focuses on what matters to each person.

Jayde trained in psychology and social work, and has three years' experience in mental health. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the needs in the room rather than using a single method for everyone. That means sessions can include talking through thoughts and feelings, practising new coping skills, and exploring values that guide decisions.

Her clinical work has included supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance misuse and self-harm. Jayde also helps with relationship stress, grief, body image and issues around isolation and loneliness. She emphasises a strengths-based, person-centred way of working where the person’s own goals shape the pace and focus.

Practical tools and clear explanations are part of how she works. Sessions can involve goal-setting, problem-solving and simple behavioural strategies to manage panic, sleep or mood swings. Jayde also uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

People who want a warm, steady presence and hands-on strategies may find this approach helpful. To begin, a short intake helps identify goals and priorities before scheduling ongoing sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches that work online and in life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and reconnect with what matters. It can be useful for loneliness, anxiety and low mood by shifting attention toward valued action rather than away from discomfort. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep and mood management by teaching practical skills and small experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jayde works collaboratively to figure out what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they may blend ACT and CBT techniques or use person-centred listening to guide which tools are tried first.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can help fit work and family life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins and making it easier to schedule during busy days. It also lets people practise skills between sessions and bring examples from home into the conversation. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises and worksheets to work well in remote sessions, and Jayde will discuss practical arrangements when you begin.
