About Jay Beckley

Current Role

I’m a registered psychologist based on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. In my practice I work mainly with adults experiencing mental health concerns, substance use difficulties, chronic pain, and life transitions. I draw on evidence-based approaches to provide practical, collaborative support.

Background and Experience

I began working in mental health in 2006 in New Zealand, initially as a support worker in a mental health day activity centre while completing undergraduate degrees in therapeutic recreation and psychology. I then worked in inpatient mental health before training as a psychologist and registering as an alcohol and other drug (AOD) counsellor.

Over the years I’ve worked in community mental health and AOD services, forensic mental health settings, correctional facilities, and schools providing assessments, counselling, and education. 

Outside of Work

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exploring Queensland, and training for triathlon. I’ve competed in events from sprint distance through to full Ironman and love the discipline, routine, and community that endurance sport brings.
