About Jennifer
Jenny is an ACA counsellor with 11 years of practice. Much of her work was at a community centre where she provided counselling for anxiety, depression and life transitions. She has experience helping people leaving violent relationships and ran anger management work for community clients.
More recently Jenny has worked in domestic violence response and child protection reporting. That work shapes how she thinks about safety and practical steps after crisis. She uses a trauma-informed perspective while keeping a person-centred, strengths-based focus.
Sessions are delivered in an empathic, non-judgemental way. Jenny aims to hold space so difficult experiences can be spoken about and understood. She focuses on small achievable steps as well as longer-term goals.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps people weigh options and make decisions that reflect what they want out of life. If someone is dealing with guilt, isolation, post-traumatic stress or social anxiety, she works to build practical coping strategies alongside emotional processing.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Jenny blends trauma-informed care with a person-centred, strengths-based framework. A trauma-informed approach looks at how past harm affects current reactions and focuses on safety, pacing and understanding triggers; it can help people recovering from abuse, intimate partner violence and post-traumatic stress. A person-centred approach emphasises listening and collaboration, helping people name their priorities and make decisions that fit their values and life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching techniques to the client's needs rather than forcing a single method.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Some approaches suit longer conversation-focused sessions, while others can use brief practical coaching between meetings. Discuss practical arrangements and session rhythm when you schedule so sessions fit everyday life.
