Mikayla Jones

Mikayla is a registered psychologist currently completing the clinical registrar program. She works from a neuroaffirming and strengths-focused framework, creating a calm, respectful, and collaborative space where people feel understood and supported.

Mikayla has experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across public health and community settings. She works with individuals navigating anxiety, mood concerns, stress and adjustment challenges, life transitions, grief, suicidal thoughts, and difficulties with self-esteem and coping. Her work with children and young people often focuses on supporting emotional and behavioural regulation, school-related stress, peer and friendship challenges, family changes, and identity development. Mikayla has extensive experience working alongside neurodivergent individuals in ways that affirm difference, prioritise understanding, and centre autonomy and strengths.

Drawing on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, Mikayla tailors therapy to each person’s goals, values, developmental stage, and lived experience. Where appropriate, she works collaboratively with caregivers and broader support systems to promote holistic and sustainable outcomes. Her practice is grounded in trauma-informed care and a commitment to safety, respect, and empowerment.

Outside of work, Mikayla enjoys going to the gym or Pilates, spending time at the beach, and connecting with friends and family.
