Jillian

Dr Jillian Horton

Clinical Psychologist

Having worked for nearly 30 years in the psychotherapy field I bring this experience and and my compassion to you and your family.

About Me

With almost 30 years' experience in psychotherapy, I offer a deeply compassionate space for you and your family. I help individuals and families navigate complex feelings, finding practical ways forward. We can explore underlying patterns together, developing tailored strategies for greater well-being. My aim is to create a safe, collaborative environment where you feel truly heard. This extensive background makes me a good match for those seeking grounded support through life's challenges.

Approach

Sessions feel grounded and steady, offering compassionate, practical support for you and your family as we untangle patterns together. From my Perth clinic or via secure online appointments, I work in plain English with adults, children and couples, pacing work to what you can manage and checking in about progress. Therapy blends reflective conversation, short experiential tasks and calm, focused practices that you can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, strengthen relationships and shift mood or behaviour. People seeking steady, collaborative support tend to find this way of working helpful.
