Haylee
Practice Manager
Haylee is the bright and bubbly wizard behind the scenes at Cairns Psychology Group, making sure everything runs like clockwork (or at least like a well-oiled coffee machine). Since joining in 2022, she’s been the friendly voice on the phone, the master of appointment juggling, and the unofficial earring style icon of the office—her colourful collection could probably light up a small city.
When she’s not busy keeping the practice ticking, Haylee loves crocheting cozy creations that are almost as warm as her personality. She’s passionate about her role because it means helping people take those brave first steps toward getting the support they deserve—and doing it all with a smile.
With Haylee around, you’re not just a client—you’re welcomed with genuine care, a sprinkle of humour, and maybe even a compliment on your own earring game.

Jaezlyn has a big heart, a caring nature, and a real knack for helping people feel seen and supported. As a mum of two busy little humans, she’s a pro at multitasking — with a laugh always close by.
Outside of work, you’ll find her op shopping like a treasure hunter on a mission, hunting down vintage gems and quirky finds. Whether she’s helping clients or wrangling kids, Jaezlyn brings warmth, energy, and a little bit of sparkle to everything she does!
