Hello, I'm Jules Piccinin, a dedicated therapist driven to have a positive impact on people and the community. My journey in the field of psychology and therapy began with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Psychology. Early on, I ventured into the role of a Youth Worker with UnitingCare, where I wore multiple hats as a Youth Development Officer, Youth Centre Coordinator, and Youth Homelessness Support Worker.
Working closely with the young people in the community is a passion for me. I have enjoyed providing support, a sense of community, and a safe space for young individuals to thrive and find their path in life during my time with the City of Whitehorse as their Youth Centre Coordinator.
Reflecting on my professional journey, I realised that I wanted to work more therapeutically with people. With this newfound aspiration, I embarked on a four-year clinical training program in relational gestalt psychotherapy through Gestalt Therapy Australia. During this transformative period, I completed a student internship with the ConnectGround clinic, offering subsidised gestalt therapy to those seeking support. This internship experience was instrumental in shaping my approach to therapy, and I practised there for over a year and a half, honing my skills and insights.
Having completed my experiential training, studies, and internship, I now operate a private practice in Thornbury. My approach is deeply rooted in the principles of gestalt therapy, a holistic and client-centred method that emphasises the importance of the present moment and the therapeutic relationship. I am here to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for people seeking positive change and personal growth.
My commitment to helping people navigate life's challenges and facilitating their personal journeys towards healing and self-discovery is at the core of what I do. I believe that every individual has the capacity to thrive, and I am here to support them on that path.
If you're looking for a compassionate therapist who appreciates your unique journey, I would be honoured to work with you.
Please feel free to get in touch to ask any questions you may have and to book in a session.
