Feeling Overwhelmed? Let’s Navigate Life’s Toughest Moments Together.
Kia Ora, I’m Jen. I believe counselling should offer a supportive environment where you can openly express your feelings and thoughts, helping you gain clarity. Together, we will explore paths forward that align with what’s best for you as an individual.
Improve your ability to care for yourself and manage stress more effectively
Strengthen your skills in coping with difficult emotions and thoughts
Cultivate kindness and compassion towards yourself and others
Develop tools to manage intense emotions
Recognise your strengths and reduce your struggles
Create personalised strategies to overcome obstacles
Break free from unhelpful patterns in your life
Increase the joy and satisfaction you experience daily
Gain deeper insight into your past and how it shapes you
Discover what truly matters to you, and explore new perspectives and meanings in your life and relationships
My counselling approach is rooted in a humanist philosophy, where I prioritise your unique experiences and value your personal perspective. I take a pluralistic approach, drawing from a range of techniques and approaches to best support your individual needs. Guided by your feedback, our work together is flexible and adaptive, creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and truly cared for. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering empathy and support as we explore your path forward.
I am deeply committed to offering the best possible support, drawing from my ongoing professional development and experience to guide you through your journey with care and understanding.
I look forward to walking alongside you.
