Jasmin Landes is a registered psychologist who works collaboratively with you to create a safe space for exploring your mental landscape and experiences. She believes therapy to be a tool for gently deepening the understanding of the ‘self’ and learning to live in ways that promote ease of being, which may help to move towards one’s aspirations and goals.

When you first go to see Jasmin, you will sit and chat. Together, you will talk about what is important to you and what concerns you. Because everyone is different, your needs guide the approaches that Jasmin may draw on in subsequent sessions. Jasmin’s practise is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Where suitable, she may share evidence-based contextual information (Psychoeducation) or suggest activities or resources to practise states of being (e.g., mindfulness). Jasmin has trained in play-therapeutic modalities, allowing her to adjust the therapeutic process for younger individuals, to be oriented by playfulness and creativity.
