Dr Jane Zhao-O'Brien, Clinical Psychologist

I am so thankful for my sessions with Jane. I was surprised by how much development I could gain from just a few session with Jane. She is non-judgemental, empathetic, and warming. I highly recommend her!

Jane has literally made an enormous and positive impact on my life for which I am very grateful. I found Jane to be attentive, intuitive and highly skilled. I felt that she really individualised the therapy that she delivered to suit my particular needs and sought feedback on my progress every step of the way which allowed me to be honest and open with how effective the therapy was, ensuring that we could tweak things as needed along the way. Jane's level of expertise and professionalism is second to none. She really is, very very good at what she does and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking a skilled and effective psychologist.

I found Jane through Google and was convinced to try a therapy with her based on all the positive feedback here. This is the reason I decided to leave my feedback as well in hope more people will be able to receive the nurturing care that Jane provides. Jane has very warm personality, she is highly professional, punctual and begins each new session exactly where it was left off the last time. I felt at ease with her on day one.I had a recurring trigger that caused severe anxiety on many layers of my life bringing fears and depression along with it. I felt stuck and hopeless. I’ve been in therapy for 7 years and knew that although my issue couldn’t be resolved I could get symptoms to feel less severe, I could almost control them. Jane suggested we try EMDR therapy, to which I was quite sceptical at the start but I trusted Jane to lead the process. On the first EMDR session I found the root cause of the trigger and processed it then and there. My anxiety just stopped. I couldn’t believe the immediate effect I had and was fearful it will come back; the trigger will inevitably manifest in different situation however its been few months now and no trace of it. I’ve never felt this free and comfortable, at ripe age of 35 it feels almost like being newborn. Of course, with core beliefs shifting I have to learn this new life and its fascinating to be able to trust the process and let go of control, planning and predicting each situation. Jane has changed my life enormously and I will be forever grateful.

Dr Jane has been incredibly helpful in my journey.Things that I particularly loved:-discussing practical strategies that I can use anywhere to help myself feel grounded-explanations on the theories behind what I was feeling/ experiencing and how my body works in relation-I felt supported in a non-judgemental way and felt able to speak freely.-I also appreciated the ability to have an appointment via video during lockdowns.Very grateful for our appointments. Thanks Dr Jane.

Jane is an incredibly skilled and warm psychologist. She has had more impact on my healing in a matter of months than I ever thought possible. I highly recommend her services to anyone.

I found my sessions with Jane to be highly beneficial to my mental health, particularly around managing anxiety. Jane has a professional and calming presence which enable me to feel completely safe, respected and understood. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone seeking relief and tools for managing anxiety. Thank you Jane for your kindness and care. JP

I was suffering severe anxiety issues and had some reluctance to seek psychological treatment.Dr Jane put me at ease immediately. I found her to be highly professional, exhibited empathy and understanding whilst showing kindness and courtesy at all times.Dr Jane diligently analysed the situation and very skill-fully provided advice in a relaxed manner and managed to encompass some very broad life-issues..There was never any pressure or rush to provide information such that I was able to feel totally relaxed in her presence and my progress has been positive and I am learning to feel comfortable in situations where I previously had almost paralysing emotions.If you have anxiety, I recommend you talk with Dr Jane as she will provide the help you need.Dr Jane has markedly improved my confidence in dealing with life’s issues.Liz

I saw Jane to overcome anxiety/depression and past trauma and highly recommend. From the first dealings with her, she was friendly and professional and I was instantly put at ease. The few forms and tests she got me to complete before therapy started gave us both an understanding of what I needed and help us put together a plan, as it was teamwork that got me through. Jane quickly earnt my trust as she was honest, perceptive and not judgemental and I felt safe in her presence. I had never heard of EMDR therapy prior to seeing her but the results were amazing. I am now more confident in my daily life and interactions with people and my past no longer holds me back.

Over the course of several months, Jane helped me overcome deeply woven negative beliefs about myself, to process them and move past them. At the same time, I became aware of what caused my anxiety and how to work through it when I would re-experience it. I've been able to strengthen my existing relationships and build new ones without hesitation now. My outlook on life is very different than before I began.Jane has been very compassionate throughout the process and I wouldn't hesitate to seek her assistance in the future should something arise.

I worked with Jane over a period of several months. Friends of mine who were working with her had recommended that I book in for a few sessions: I had responded that I didn't think I needed therapy... but yes, I would give it a try. How glad I am that I did. Jane is a great therapist. She is clever, insightful, respectful. She helped me to understand patterns of behavior, triggers to emotional responses that I thought I understood but actually was still being buffeted around by on a fairly regular basis. And she gave me some good strategies which work. Through my sessions with her I learned a lot about how I work - emotionally as well as intellectually. I feel I'm in a better place in terms of me, life, relationships - and this long period of isolation. Apart from the therapeutic benefits from these sessions, I always just enjoyed spending an hour with Jane. Apart from being very clever, she's a really nice person, who knows how to create a safe and respectful communicative space; and to nudge you gently but firmly towards better understanding of it all. I feel good knowing that she is there; and that I can check in with her at any time should I need to. That's a good feeling.
