Australia’s most respected professional services and wealth management firm.

Jemimah Ghaly is a therapist specialising in couples work, men’s mental health, and performance psychology. Her client base largely consists of high-net-worth individuals, founders, and C-suite executives. These are men who know how to build, scale, and lead, but often find themselves less prepared for the psychological toll of pressure, power, intimacy, and sustained performance. That tension is exactly where her work sits.

Before training as a therapist, Jem spent several years studying in the medical field. The influence is obvious in how she works. (If she’s had her 14 coffees!) Her approach is structured, evidence-driven, and commercially realistic. She is comfortable in black and white, but not naive to complexity, and she knows precisely when “grey” is legitimate nuance and when it is avoidance dressed up as insight. She has little tolerance for excessive self-analysis or therapeutic theatre and will call out self-sabotage plainly when it interferes with performance, relationships, or decision-making.

Jemimah owns two businesses. Couch Potato is her clinical practice, where she works with individuals and couples on relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, identity shifts, and the personal cost of high-pressure lives. (If you ever come there please bring me dark chocolate) Wendy is her psychological advisory for senior leaders. Through Wendy, Jemimah operates as a confidential strategic ally to executives. She helps sharpen judgment under pressure, regulate emotional reactivity, stress-test thinking, and navigate the human and relational consequences of leadership when the stakes are high and the room is small. All of it done with a human touch. Not a walking text-book. Because well, who wants that.

Her style is direct, grounded, and deliberately unfiltered. She is known for asking the questions others avoid, naming patterns quickly, and cutting through stories that sound intelligent but lead nowhere. (We’ve all had them.) Jemimah works at the intersection of performance psychology, relationships, and emotional intelligence, helping high-functioning men maintain edge without quietly burning down the parts of their lives that actually matter.
