​

Jacinta has a strong clinical focus on trauma, particularly complex post-traumatic stress disorder, and has extensive experience supporting individuals with histories of childhood and adult sexual abuse. She works from an attachment-informed perspective, with a deep understanding of how early developmental experiences shape emotional wellbeing, relationships, and patterns of responding across the lifespan.

A central area of Jacinta’s practice is perinatal mental health. She is deeply committed to supporting individuals and families through the transition to parenthood, with clinical expertise spanning fertility challenges, pregnancy and birth-related trauma, perinatal grief and loss, and postnatal depression and anxiety. Jacinta brings a compassionate, developmentally informed approach to her work, recognising the profound psychological and relational shifts involved in matrescence and the importance of attuned support during this period.
