I'm Jay Beckley. Since 2006 I have been supporting people with a range of difficulties. From those that are stuck and need direction to those with complex mental health and addiction issues. I have worked in a range of settings including mental health inpatient units, forensic mental health hospitals, correctional facilities, and educational settings. I now work in private practice on the Sunshine Coast.

I have a particular interest in supporting people with alcohol and other drug problems and underlying issues. 

​

I have enough experience to know that confronting a problem and coming to a psychologist can be daunting.

So, here is what you can expect from a psychology session with me:

​

• Firstly, before your appointment, it will be determined if I am the right person for you.

• Your privacy and confidentiality are assured. 

• A comfortable safe environment.

• To be listened to – no matter how big or small the problem is.

• For your problem to be explored further and understood with empathy and compassion.

• To be responded to with respect and compassion.

• To not feel judged.

• To not feel alone, but as part of a team.

• Evidence based strategies tailored to your needs.

• Monitoring to make sure the strategies are working.
