Annabelle Jackson
The Garden Family Medical Clinic Murdoch
Hi, my name is Annabelle, and I have worked as a psychologist with children and adolescents for over 12 years. I have experience in consultancy roles, as well as in education support centres in primary and high schools, focusing on behaviour and engagement management. I currently work part-time as a Senior School Psychologist at a primary school.
I enjoy working with children and adolescents aged 4 to 14 years of age, supporting them to celebrate their strengths, to tackle challenges, to feel confident in themselves and their abilities, and to better understand the ways that their amazing brains work. I am passionate about supporting and enhancing strong connections between young people and those around them – with their peers, friends, families, schools, and broader communities. I work collaboratively and with an affirming, trauma-informed and person-centred approach.
I can provide assessments and individual therapy, including:
- Understanding and managing emotions including anger, sadness, and anxiety.
- Peer or social challenges.
- Reluctance or refusal to attend school.
- Transition to high school.
- Neurodivergence including ADHD and Autism.
- Challenging behaviours.
- Learning difficulties and disorders.
- Suicidal thoughts.
- Self-esteem.
- Cognitive assessment – identification of cognitive ability.
- Provisional diagnosis of ADHD.
Something about me is that I’m a ‘summer person’. I love spending time outdoors, with family and friends, planting things in our garden, and being at the beach. I enjoy escaping in a book (my bedside table is usually stacked high with a mix of books). I have two little kids, so the book pile gets a bit dusty before I manage to get through them. When I find the time (not very often!) my other hobbies include sleeping, drawing, painting, and making crafty things.
Three quotes that I hold close are ‘kids do well if they can’ (Dr Ross Greene), ‘every child deserves a champion’ (Rita Pierson) and ‘if you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent the night with a mosquito’ (African proverb).
Something not many people may know about me is that my dog (a Welsh Terrier), is part of a Welsh Terrier Secret Santa at Christmas time. He has had presents from Canada, the US and has even been in a UK newspaper.
I am not a registered provider of services under the NDIS. Therefore, individuals who have packages managed directly by the NDIA are not able to use their NDIS funds to pay for my services.
