Jesse MacKenzie

Counsellor and Psychotherapist

Jesse is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Ikon Institute of Australia, and is PACFA-accredited. Jesse works with adults, offering a trauma-informed, person-centred approach that draws on attachment theory, psychodynamic thinking, and Focusing.

Jesse's work is grounded in the understanding that many of the difficulties people bring to therapy have developmental origins — patterns formed early in life that continue to shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Rather than focusing only on the past, Jesse works with clients in the here-and-now, helping them notice these patterns as they arise and become curious about what they might be asking for.

Jesse works with a broad range of presenting concerns, including developmental and relational trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety, family and relationship conflict, and life transitions, with a particular interest in family systems and a passion for men's mental health.

Jesse practices under the name IntraTerra Counselling & Psychotherapy, offering sessions in person across the Macedon Ranges (Gisborne, Woodend and Kyneton) and in Brunswick, as well as online.
