REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Jacqui Manning

B.A (PSYCH) M.A. (PSYCH)

​Jacqui is passionate about encouraging people to step into the healing space she provides, to learn how to experience peace and lightness in their lives. She has been working as a psychologist since 1999, as a Lifeline Counsellor, TAFE Counsellor/Psychologist, she established her own clinic Mind Advantage from 2004-2011 and became The Friendly Psychologist when she had children.

She is a naturally warm and intuitive person who works with women, men and couples (aged 18-80!) and uses counselling (CBT, Narrative Therapy, some Gottman principles) along with tools such as energy psychology (meridian tapping), mindfulness and guided deep relaxations to help her clients get relief from life’s struggles.

She appreciates many people are reluctant to see a psychologist because they think their problem isn’t ‘that bad’ or they fear opening up to a stranger, but she believes that seeing a psychologist is no different to seeing a doctor, naturopath or a personal trainer for our physical health.  Good emotional hygiene - or 'psychological immune boosting' - is essential to deal with the many pressures of modern life we all experience.

​Jacqui will help you:

  • Learn how to respond rather than react
  • Find relief for your anxiety and stress (including health anxiety)
  • Process your grief
  • Understand your relationships better – including with yourself    
  • Improve your sleep
  • Find more inner peace even through difficult times
  • Increase your joy
  • Improve your communication and confidence
  • Value yourself
