Jarred Kellerman

Jarred Kellerman is a PACFA counsellor with ten years of experience in counselling and education. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career doubts, depression and coping with life changes. He also helps with communication problems, loneliness, panic attacks, social anxiety and questions about life purpose.

Sessions with Jarred focus on clear, practical conversation. He listens to what is happening now, identifies the patterns that keep people stuck, and tries out small, doable steps. Conversations aim to make thinking and feelings easier to understand rather than use complicated jargon.

Jarred draws on a range of evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety, move through transitions and rebuild confidence. He uses methods that look at thoughts and behaviours, and others that explore values and acceptance. This combination is used to match what a person needs in the moment.

He has a background supporting young people and families, including issues like school disengagement, motivation and social isolation. That practical experience informs how he talks about career and life-purpose questions with adults.

People who see Jarred can expect straightforward sessions that focus on immediate concerns and next steps. He encourages experimentation with small changes between sessions and checks how those changes land. If a new direction is needed, he works collaboratively to adjust the plan.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Jarred commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying behavioural experiments to change how people feel. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic and social phobia because it targets thoughts and habits that maintain worry.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can help with life-purpose questions, low motivation and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jarred will discuss which methods fit the client’s goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods can be mixed to suit the person’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Jarred will discuss practical arrangements and how to shape sessions so they work with everyday life.
