About Jarred
Jarred Kellerman is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with ten years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression and big life changes. He also focuses on communication problems, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, social anxiety and questions of life purpose.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. Jarred uses approaches that focus on thinking patterns, values and everyday actions. Conversations aim to identify what is getting in the way now and to build small steps that feel doable between sessions.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thought patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment ideas to clarify what matters and commit to value-driven action. Person-centred listening is used to understand each person’s perspective, and Adlerian concepts help explore how relationships and goals shape behaviour.
Jarred has worked for a decade across counselling and education settings. That background informs a pragmatic style that suits people unsure what comes next after work, relationship or health changes. He supports people who want clearer direction rather than quick fixes.
People can expect direct conversation about practical coping strategies, communication skills and ways to reduce anxiety symptoms. The focus is on building manageable routines, improving confidence, and testing small changes that help with career decisions, relationships and a sense of purpose.
To begin, Jarred asks questions about current pressures, recent changes and what a better next step would look like. He then works with each person to set short-term goals and review progress in upcoming sessions.
Therapeutic methods and how they work online
Jarred commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment concepts. Cognitive Behavioural approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that keep stress and anxiety high. This method can help with panic symptoms, social anxiety and low mood by teaching practical coping techniques and behavioural experiments.Acceptance and Commitment approaches focus on clarifying what matters to you and taking action consistent with those values. This can help when someone is unsure about career direction or life purpose by turning abstract goals into small, concrete steps. He also uses person-centred listening to understand your experience and Adlerian ideas to look at how relationships and goals influence behaviour.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jarred will discuss options and decide together which techniques suit your needs, goals and preferences. The choice of method often changes as progress is made and new challenges appear.
