Meet Jessy Quilindo

Jessy's work is shaped by a deep understanding of relational pain, resilience, and the quiet conditions that make change possible.

​

Long before formal clinical training, she witnessed a truth that now anchors her work: people do not change simply because their suffering disappears — they change when someone stays with them through it, offering presence, patience, and steady care.

​

Her experience spans both the beginning and end of life. As a midwife, she received new life into the world. In palliative care in Seychelles, she sat with individuals in their final moments — often holding vigil and becoming a steady, nurturing presence for those who had no one else. These experiences deeply inform how she understands grief, attachment, and emotional vulnerability.

​

Her Approach

​

Jessy works from a relational and person-centred approach, grounded in respect for each client’s pace.

She integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), mind–body awareness, and nervous system regulation to support sustainable emotional change.

​

What Shapes Her Work

​

Jessy has worked extensively in community settings and in leadership roles supporting women through complex life experiences.

​

In her role as a Women’s Ministries Director, she has designed and facilitated support programmes, led reflective group spaces, and walked alongside individuals navigating grief, burnout, relational strain, and identity transitions.

​

Through this work, she has seen how:

• chronic stress reshapes the body’s threat response

• relational pain erodes self-worth over time

• healing often begins with being genuinely seen and understood

​

Who She Works With

​

Jessy works with individuals — particularly women — who may appear strong on the outside, but are internally carrying:

• low self-worth, self-doubt, or fragile self-esteem

• emotional exhaustion from caregiving, over-functioning, or being “the strong one”

• grief and loss (including bereavement, relational endings, or identity loss)

• people-pleasing, emotional suppression, or difficulty asserting needs

• burnout, numbness, or disconnection from self

• attachment wounds, relational rupture, or patterns of self-abandonment

​

She also supports clients to learn how to relate to themselves with greater care, structure, and emotional attunement.

​

Background

​

Jessy holds a Master of Counselling from Monash University and is accredited with both the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC).

​

Her work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by years of deeply human encounters — across birth, death, and the many transitions in between.

​

She is from Seychelles and speaks English and French.
