About Jen

Jen Murray is a counsellor and AASW social worker with 20 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and major life changes. She invites people to bring whatever is on their mind - worries about money, career decisions, family tensions or the shock of a separation - and works with them to find a way forward.

Sessions are simple and direct. Jen listens without judgement and helps people name what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She uses plain language and practical steps so conversations feel useful from the first meeting. Her style blends client-centred care with a focus on meaning and choice. That means the conversation starts with the person in front of her and then looks at values, purpose and the everyday choices that shape life.

If someone wants short-term solutions, she can also include solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable steps. Jen describes her approach as trauma-aware and strengths-focused. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and she supports people working through communication problems, forgiveness, self-love and workplace stress.

Outside sessions she enjoys nature, learning and connection. Those interests shape a grounded, practical way of working that suits people who want calm, clear guidance and someone who will walk alongside them as they sort things out.

Approaches Jen names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Finding meaning and practical change online

Jen works with Existential Therapy to help people look at life meaning, values and the choices that shape their days. This approach can help when someone faces big questions about purpose, loss or direction. Client-Centred Therapy is used to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and focus of the work. Solution-Focused Therapy adds brief, goal-oriented steps when someone wants concrete changes quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jen collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed way of working. That means sessions can shift over time to focus more on meaning, practical coping, or short-term problem solving as required.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to connect from work, home or while travelling and to choose a format that fits day-to-day life.
