About Jenny

Jenny has a Masters of Counselling and Bachelor of Health Science (Nat), offering a mature, caring, sensitive and non-judgemental approach with people needing support in their lives. With her understanding of the human body and mind, she believes that by effectively managing our personal stress levels and feeling truly supported by our ‘people’, we can overcome significant challenges and even thrive.

Her areas of interest include supporting couples with their relationship and parenting challenges, and individuals with stress, burnout and eating issues.

In addition to completing the more formal Gottman relationship training, her training in the Tree of Life Methodology offers creative options for couples seeking to develop a shared vision and renewed awareness in their unique relationship. This approach can transform therapy into a series of interesting pictures and conversations, all with a clear purpose, of course.

When you see Jenny, she will discuss your hopes and expectations for your sessions together, and you will collaboratively design a plan that you can trust will provide the best support tailored to your current needs. She certainly does not adhere to a one-size-fits-all approach.

Many of the couples she has seen, whether in crisis or struggling in the early stages, often progress with newfound skills and confidence following the initial interventions. They may return when they encounter any new issues they wish to explore more deeply, akin to a ‘top-up’ session to realign themselves, after which they feel ready to move forward.

She encourages a safe space for couples to share their vulnerable thoughts, helping them to understand each other’s patterns, values, and communication styles, so they can show up for each other without blame or judgement.

More about Jenny

How many years counselling experience do you have?

Over 10 years.

What are three strengths you have as a Psychologist/Counsellor?
  1. Non-judgemental/compassionate
  2. Warm
  3. I have a depth of life experience with a long term marriage and raising children in a busy family
What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

Couples who see me say they feel truly supported, and are grateful for the new skills and tools they have learned, which have helped foster a deeper connection between them. This allows them to have transparent and honest conversations, expressing their needs in a safe environment that I help support them with.  Observing my clients’ newly acquired communication skills in action, and witnessing the positive impact it has on their families and all aspects of their lives, fills me with a profound sense of awe and gratitude for being able to help in my own way.

What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

I worked with a couple who were ‘silently separated’. They had totally lost their connection and could not find a safe way to communicate how they were feeling. This led them to turn away from each other and neither were getting their needs fulfilled.

Their sessions with me helped remind them of their shared values and they started noticing all of the things going really well in their relationship/family. We carefully and slowly opened up a safe space for them to sensitively share their feelings of resentment, abandonment and guilt, over issues they had lived through and never really discussed. As the conversations continued over time, the couple became highly skilled in communicating in a safe and transparent way, by showing up and truly listening to each other on what they needed.

It has been a true pleasure witnessing a relationship they deemed ‘broken’, transform into a completely flourishing relationship with newly found strength and hope. Every thing is possible with the willingness to try something different I think!
