Psychotherapy.
therapy done differently
Bird on the Wing is a Gold Coast Psychology Clinic in Miami specialising in Adult emotional and interpersonal challenges, trauma, sense of self, and anxiety.
Psychology can sometimes feel clinical and impersonal. Jackson's approach to therapy is from a psychotherapeutic evidence based approach that creates a safe, meaningful, purposeful, honest, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with you. Jackson brings his authentic self as a therapist to the counselling process to develop a rich, personable, and deep understanding of your world. The clinic is homely styled adding to the compassionate, supportive and nurturing style of Jacksons approach. During this course of therapy, clients learn ways of changing longstanding patterns that have hindered their well-being.
Often these sessions are one on one within my clinic space, other times they are walk-and-talk along Burleigh Beach, and, other times they are a phone call or tele-health video call. Jackson also offers pre-cosmetic surgery psychological assessments.
​
Many people attend therapy with patterns in their lives that they understand and are aware of, and others that are largely outside of their awareness. Bringing awareness to these relational patterns is crucial in overcoming unhelpful cycles that keep us stuck.
If we are able to work consistently together towards creating a deep, rich understanding of these patterns and how they relate to your presenting problems, then we are on track to gaining the satisfaction that you desire by having breakthroughs and not breakdowns.
Jackson intentionally focuses on a smaller client load so that he can always bring his best to therapy and see clients through to the end of their journey. This also allows a chance to connect when your problem is present and not several months later.
​
I have one rule for you,
come how you are.

Bird on the Wing Values
Therapy is not just within four walls. The wild is an extension of therapy and vise versa. Therapy is about connecting to yourself in a way that feels safe, consistent and transparent. When we engage in an opportunity to connect we have the possibility to heal parts of us that are hurting which are showing up in our relationships and how we are treating ourselves. This creates space for love, happiness and fulfilment too, that is often masked amongst shame, exhaustion and depression.
Connection is the ocean breeze, a laugh with a loved one, a warm embrace, a familiar scent, a conversation with a friend, a dance, "being seen", a revisit to your favourite place, the loss of a loved one, a weeping cry, a heavy heart and much much more.
​
When we disconnect, we create isolation, loneliness and become stuck and overwhelmed. Although our intention may not consciously be to disconnect, our bodies are hardwired to respond faster than what we are consciously aware of. Naturally we may have felt safe to disconnect, but now, in our adult years it may not be what we need. By slowing down this process in therapy together, we can get a good understanding of how we arrived to the place where we are at and work towards re-creating a path that feels true to you.
​
It is my intention to create a secure, safe, homely and nurturing space with you that is uniquely yours. This allows you to take courage, strength and lessons from therapy into the wild.
​
Just like how a bird confidently relocates its nest and calls it home, do I aim to relight the courage and strength collaboratively within you, so that no matter where you are, you have got this.

​
