Faces of Centre 31

  • Founder

    Certified Counselling & Coaching Support Professional

    Chan Jones Therapy now known as Centre 31 was established in 2020 after having extensive experience working in the industry for the past 8 years, with a focus on youth. I specialise in assisting people to identify and achieve their personal goals by identifying the issues that are causing stress and possible anxiety.

    Centre31 also provides couples counselling services and is committed to helping couples find a way back to a happier and better life.  Whether you're relationship is in crisis or you simply need some direction, I will assist you in finding a way towards a better relationship with your partner. 

    ​Through a trauma-informed approach based on person-centered care, we are able to provide a safe and supportive environment to help you work through things that may be going on for you.

    We take great pride in the progress and success of our clients and look forward to helping you.

  • My name is Haley. I use she/they pronouns.

    I’m an American that found her way to Tasmania in 2022. I’m excited to start providing care in the sexual heath sector here in Tasmania. As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and credentialed Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring years of evidence-based knowledge and training to this work.

    I am passionate about my work with individuals, couples, and relational systems around issues of genito-pelvic pain conditions, perinatal sexuality and mental healthcare, menopause and aging, desire discrepancy, sexual identity and expression, gender identity and expression, relationship difficulties, finding freedom in authentic self-expression, and precommitment/premarital therapy.

    I draw on humanistic and experiential theories such as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Narrative Therapy. The work I do is informed by queer and feminist theory, as well as anti-oppression frameworks. I am sex and pleasure-positive, queer and neurodivergent-identified, and a Health At Every Size practitioner.
