About Jen
Jen Murray is an AASW social worker with 20 years of experience who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and career change. She also supports people facing family strain, anger, bipolar challenges and money and financial issues. Jen welcomes whatever you bring and works in a calm, non-judgemental way.
Sessions start with listening. Jen encourages people to say what they can, even if the words feel messy. She works at the client’s pace and helps them find small, practical steps to feel steadier. Financial worries and workplace pressures are treated as part of the whole picture rather than a single problem to fix.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred, Existential and Solution-Focused ways of working. That means sessions can focus on what matters to the person now, explore meaning and life direction, or be short-term and goal oriented depending on needs. Conversations stay human and straightforward rather than full of jargon.
Jen describes her practice as trauma-informed and strengths-focussed. She will help you notice existing strengths and use them to manage change. People who want to talk about spiritual questions or life purpose will find space for that in sessions.
Outside work she enjoys nature, learning and connection. If you are feeling overwhelmed by relationships, money concerns or life transitions, Jen offers a steady, practical way to work through what matters to you.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the centre and focuses on listening and empathy. Online sessions using this approach allow the therapist to follow what you find most important and reflect that back to you. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and life direction; it can help when big questions about purpose or identity are weighing on you and is suited to conversations about life change and grief. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, achievable steps and quick progress by building on what already works for you.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jen will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your needs. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer disruptions from travel. Online sessions can make longer or more frequent check-ins possible and let people join from different locations when needed. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list particular options, and the therapist will explain how to schedule sessions that suit your routine.
