Jay Chinnery

Psychologist & Sexuality Therapist

Jay is passionate about mental and sexual health. He opened Open Mind Psychology & Consulting in 2019 to respond to a growing demand for mental and sexual health services in Perth, WA. Trauma trained, he describes his therapeutic approach as “holistic” and works with clients to address issues affecting the mind and body. He has substantial experience helping people overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, complex trauma, and relationship and sexual challenges.

Therapeutic style

Jay has a strong interest in childhood trauma. He understands the profound effect childhood trauma can have on the mind and body into adulthood. He finds mind-body interventions particularly effective and often uses these to teach clients how to manage their distress. He helps people to move beyond being stuck in and defined by their trauma. Ultimately, his goal is to empower clients to help themselves. He believes this is a vital step toward well-being, rebuilding identity, and creating a rewarding and fulfilling life.
