Are you ready for a change? Do you feel stuck in the same unhelpful patterns?

Whether you are suffering from the effects of trauma or difficult experiences that have taken your life off track, I believe it's never too late or impossible to feel better and create the life you want.

Hello, I'm Jennifer and I offer online psychotherapy for individuals and relationships.

My approach is integrative and has a relational focus which means I encourage and support you in exploring the relationships you have to yourself, others and your environment in the way that works for you. It acknowledges that your experiences have an impact on your mind, your body and your relationships. I will meet you where you are, taking into consideration your environment, the social and cultural influences that impact you, and the story/narrative you carry. People are often distressed about what happened to them; not because there is something wrong with them. I aim to help you develop self-compassion and alleviate self-blame. I draw from various theories and approaches to gently guide and support you in your unique healing journey.

We all have inner resources of creativity and as a psychotherapist specially trained in art therapy, I will invite you to express yourself. I will guide you to find and cultivate your creative resources to help meet challenges. Creative expression helps the unconscious become conscious. This can help make sense of lived experiences and support well-being. 

Whilst art making is not required, you may choose to use art materials to enrich the therapeutic process. I understand that words are limited or not always available to articulate or fully process your experience. 

When you work with me, you’ll find that I’m warm, compassionate and ready to engage. My initial priority is helping you feel at ease, in therapy, and in the larger context of your life. I will respectfully hold space for you to be fully yourself and share your story as you feel ready. I welcome any questions you may have about my experience, because I believe they contribute to a deep and authentic connection. Telling your story helps integrate, connect, transform, and heal.
