Jordan Gal

I am a registered psychologist with experience in supporting the mental health of people across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is warm, supportive, and strengths-based, focused on fostering each client’s unique qualities to help them navigate the challenges of life. I enjoy helping people experience personal growth and success, to move towards a life that holds greater meaning and value. I aim to create a calming and collaborative space that is welcoming to all people and affirming of diverse backgrounds, neurotypes, identities and lived experiences.

My clinical experience includes offering mental health care to people experiencing depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and the impacts of stress and trauma. I have a particular interest in trauma-informed care, whereby clients are empowered and supported to experience growth and recovery following traumatic experiences. I also have an interest in working with individuals experiencing relationship difficulties; challenges with self-esteem or identity; and work-related issues, such as burnout, workplace bullying, and organisational change. In my work with children and adolescents, I can assist with common developmental challenges related to areas such as school engagement, peer conflicts, self-harm, family difficulties, and neurodiversity.

In order to support my clients, I incorporate techniques and strategies drawn from various evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). I believe in tailoring my approach to suit each person’s individual needs and best support them on their wellbeing journey.

I also enjoy conducting adult ADHD assessments at Headway, providing clients with a comprehensive and holistic evaluation, as well as personalised recommendations for managing their condition.
