There are no limitations to personal change. Create a better version of yourself

Welcome to JS psychology practice. The practice environment is a pleasant comfortable, quiet space without disruption. This allows for best therapeutic outcome and confidentiality.

“As people we have the ability to rise above or go beyond, thus transforming ones own nature.”- J Schmidt Psychologist

I have been a Consulting Psychologist on the Northern Beaches of NSW for over a decade dealing with patients from all ages and walks of life. I have previous training in Forensics and will be able to assist those patients also going through the NSW Court system.

There are no issues too big or too small, therapy allows for the sharing of feelings and emotions thus resulting in solution-focused outcomes and goals tailored to the individual’s needs.

The therapeutic space is free of judgment and you can openly express all those thoughts and feelings that have been worrying or weighing you down. There is no perfect time to start this therapeutic process however, when you do you will find an elevation in one day to day living, allowing for you to be more present at the moment and enjoy what life has to offer.

Once a therapeutic relationship has been established you will be able to access help at times of need as you move forward through life. To know you have a safe space where your needs are the number one priority allows for a sense of security and comfort.
