About

Jules Lemke

Therapeutic approaches

Jules works alongside clients to explore their experiences with curiosity and care, always honouring their individual strengths, stories, and hopes for change. She is particularly interested in exploring how the systems we are part of – whether interpersonal or political – can shape our view of the world and experiences of mental health.

Jules has extensive experience supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression and trauma, as well as difficulties with relationships and sexuality. Her approach is trauma-responsive and person-centred, placing importance on developing a supportive therapeutic relationship. Jules draws from a range of evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s specific needs. Sessions may incorporate Schema Therapy, ACT, DBT skills and mindfulness-based approaches.

 Jules knows what a big step it is to reach out for support and considers it a privilege to be part of your therapeutic journey, whether it’s your first time and it feels a bit daunting, or perhaps you’ve had negative experiences in the past. 

 Outside of work, Jules enjoys reading, cooking, and tending to her many indoor plants.

Centre Self Collective values the lived experience and contributions of people from all cultures, genders, sexualities, bodies, spiritualities, ages, abilities and backgrounds. We are committed to cultivating inclusive environments and are dedicated to building a sustainable and an environmentally aware practice. 

Acknowledgement and Commitment to First Nations Justice. Centre Self Collective acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and offer care. We recognise their deep and enduring connection to land, waters, skies, and community - and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We honour the wisdom, strength, and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across all communities. As social workers and mental health practitioners, we hold a deep awareness of the systemic harm our profession has contributed to, including the forced removal of children, policies of assimilation, and the ongoing disruption of families, cultures, and Country. These injustices continue to reverberate through intergenerational trauma and ongoing structural inequities. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. Centre Self Collective stands in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We wholeheartedly support the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the journey toward Treaty in Victoria, and the principle of Aboriginal self-determination.
