Hi, I’m Jess Marsh! I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Social Work Supervisor, and the Founder of Be With. For almost a decade I have worked in the community services sector across diverse roles including case management, program development, therapeutic support, and leadership. Throughout this time, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges, helping them navigate difficult, and sometimes traumatic, circumstances and begin their healing journey at their pace. I am deeply passionate about creating safe, compassionate, and authentic spaces where people feel seen, heard and empowered.

At Be With, we believe in the transformative power of presence, attunement, understanding, and empowerment. Our name was born from this very belief: that meaningful growth often doesn’t come from pushing harder or trying to fix, but from truly being with.

Our logo of a flowing stream captures this philosophy. The stream represents the journey of life: sometimes the water rushes quickly, other times it moves gently and slow. It might flow steadily as one current or split off into new paths. We can’t always change the pace or direction of the water, but we can come to a place of acceptance - choosing to stop struggling against the current. When we stay connected to what is rather than fighting for what should be, we open ourselves to experiencing healing and growth.

With a strong foundation in trauma-informed and therapeutic practices, we offer a range of services, including counselling, clinical supervision, leadership coaching, reflective practice, and therapeutic consulting. Our expertise spans diverse areas including the neurobiology of trauma, parent-child attachment, child and adolescent development, family and domestic violence, out-of-home care, mental health, relationships, harmful sexualised behaviours, disability, education, leadership, and wellbeing.

At the heart of Be With is an individualised, person-centred approach that values authenticity, attunement, and care. We aim to create spaces where individuals, couples, families and organisations can feel empowered to connect, heal, and thrive. Whether through reflective practice, tailored workshops, or individual sessions, we are here to empower and Be With you on your journey.
