Jayde Lecerf

Jayde Lecerf is an AASW social worker who helps people manage anger, stress and other intense feelings. She offers a calm, steady presence and works to build on the strengths people already have. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, so people can speak honestly about what is hard for them.

Jayde trained in psychology and social work, and brings three years of direct mental health experience to sessions. She has supported people through anxiety, depression, self-harm, substance misuse and trauma-related problems. This background shapes a practical way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

In sessions she leans on client-centred principles and evidence-based methods. That means listening first, then using approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural tools and dialectical behaviour ideas to build skills. She often includes values work so people can reconnect with what matters to them.

Jayde also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when helping people change behaviours like alcohol or drug use. She aims to help people understand what keeps old patterns in place and to try small experiments that can shift things over time.

Her practice is straightforward and practical. People who want a steady, empathetic counsellor to help them handle anger, grief, relationship strain or life transitions may find her approach helpful. To begin, clients are guided through a short matching process to arrange sessions.

How Jayde’s approaches translate to online work

Jayde commonly draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred practice. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take action in line with their values. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change them. Client-centred practice focuses on listening deeply and shaping the work around what the person says matters.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jayde will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps match interventions to what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, study and family commitments, or useful when they need a shorter check-in rather than travel. Others prefer longer appointments to learn new coping skills. Discussing practical arrangements during the matching process makes it clearer which format will suit individual needs.
