About Jen
Jen Murray is an AASW-accredited social worker and counsellor with 20 years of experience. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can bring worries, sadness, anxiety or uncertainty without needing the right words. Many come with relationship strain, grief, career stress or questions about life direction. Jen listens first and helps people find a path forward that fits their situation.
She encourages people to talk about what matters in plain language. Sessions often start by naming immediate concerns and then building small, practical steps that feel manageable. Jen draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make the person’s experience central, while using solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals.
Her approach also includes existential perspectives for people who are asking big questions about meaning, values or life purpose. She aims to balance practical coping strategies with space to reflect on what matters most. This can be helpful for those facing loss, major changes or ongoing mood concerns such as bipolar illness.
Jen describes her practice as strengths-focused and trauma-informed. She supports people working through family difficulties, communication problems, separation, workplace stress, money worries and the particular challenges that affect women. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.
Outside the consulting room she values nature, learning and connection. That practical curiosity shows up in how she works - steady, curious and respectful of each person’s pace and priorities.
How Jen’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and making the person’s experience the guide for the work; it helps when someone wants a respectful space to be heard and make decisions at their own pace. Existential Therapy looks at life questions, meaning and values, which can help people facing grief, life transitions or searching for purpose. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jen will work collaboratively to decide which combination of these ideas fits the person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust the focus as progress is made. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions relevant and practical.
The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care during life changes while keeping the same collaborative, person-centred approach.
