Hi, I’m Jessie Kennedy, the founder of Wattle Counselling. My journey began with 11 years of service in the Navy as a Communications Specialist, during which I had the privilege of supporting others as an AOD Intake Worker, Sexual Assault Victim Support Person, and Student Wellbeing Coordinator. These roles deeply impacted me and helped me realize how much I wanted to support people beyond the military, guiding them through life’s challenges in a more personal way.
Leaving the Navy was a big decision, but it was driven by my desire to make a difference in the wider community. After working briefly in the Family Violence sector, I found my true calling as a Family Services Practitioner. This work, alongside Wattle Counselling, has allowed me to bring my passion for helping others to life in a way that feels truly meaningful.
At Wattle Counselling, I strive to create a warm and welcoming space for everyone who walks through the door. I’m passionate about supporting people on their individual journeys,
helping them heal, grow, and rediscover their strength. I also aim to live my life in line with permaculture principles, which guide how I approach both my work and my personal life. Whether through equine-assisted therapy or room-based counselling, I’m here to help you navigate your path with compassion and care.

At Wattle Counselling, we respectfully acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people (pronounced Ja-Ja-war-rung) as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work. We honour their enduring connection to Country—its earth, creatures, and waterways—and pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
The Dja Dja Wurrung creation story tells of Bunjil, the wedge-tailed eagle, who created the land, rivers, and all living beings. We hold this story with deep respect, recognizing the cultural and spiritual significance it brings to this land.
Guided by permaculture principles, we strive to care for the earth, care for its people, and nurture the interconnectedness of all life. In doing so, we aim to honour the wisdom of this Country and its First Peoples, working to walk alongside the land, its creatures, and its waterways with care and reverence.
