About Jayde
Jayde Lecerf is an AASW social worker who helps people struggling with sleep, stress and emotional overwhelm. She creates a calm, warm space where people can talk through their worries and find practical ways to rest better. Her style is gentle and strengths-based, focusing on what a person already does well and building from there.
Jayde studied psychology and social work, and has three years of clinical experience in mental health. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, self-harm, substance misuse, trauma and family and domestic violence. That experience informs how she supports people through hard moments and complex feelings.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Jayde draws on client-centred listening, practical behaviour changes from cognitive behavioural therapy, and acceptance-based ideas to help people reconnect with what matters. She also uses strategies from dialectical behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing when they suit someone’s goals.
Her work often includes helping people understand patterns that affect sleep and rest, and then trying small, manageable changes. Jayde encourages values-led goals so people can make changes that feel meaningful and realistic. She aims to help clients build steady routines and coping skills that fit everyday life.
People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor may find her approach helpful. She invites curious, open conversations and focuses on skills you can try between sessions. If you want to explore sleep, mood or coping with life changes, Jayde offers a supportive place to begin.
How Jayde uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters. It focuses on values and small actions that build a more meaningful day-to-day life, which can help with sleep and motivation.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviours and sleep or mood. It offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and develop healthier routines that support better rest.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jayde collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences and daily life. She will adjust methods over time so they feel useful and realistic.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady skill practice between appointments and make follow-up easier. Ask about the specific options available when you arrange your first meeting.
