About Jen
Jen Murray is an AASW-accredited social worker with 20 years' experience who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside everyday life stresses. She welcomes people dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship strains, career uncertainty, family concerns and anger. She also supports those facing life changes, bipolar challenges and workplace issues.
Jen keeps sessions straightforward and non-judgemental. She invites clients to bring whatever is on their mind, even if the words are unclear. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs so practical next steps can emerge from the talk.
Her approach is grounded in client-centred care, with an emphasis on strengths and practical solutions. She brings existential perspectives for people wrestling with meaning and purpose. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term strategies to cope and move forward.
Jen describes her work as trauma-aware and strength-focused. That means she notices past hurts while helping people use their own resources to cope now. She also welcomes exploration of spiritual or values-based concerns when these are important to the person.
Outside the room she values nature, learning and connection, and she brings that interest into sessions when it helps. To begin, she asks people to share their current worries and priorities so together they can shape a plan that fits their life and goals.
How Jen’s approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens deeply, follows what matters to the client and helps them find their own solutions. Existential Therapy looks at life questions like meaning, values and purpose and can help when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals to build momentum and relief. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Jen will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then tailor the focus so sessions fit those needs. The choice of approach can change over time as priorities shift. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins between work or family commitments. It also lets people use methods that suit them - longer conversations for deeper issues or brief solution-focused sessions for immediate problems. Discuss practical arrangements with Jen when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine and goals.Areas of expertise
