Jen Murray

Jen Murray is a counsellor and accredited social worker (AASW) with 20 years of experience. She greets people with a warm, non-judgemental approach and invites them to bring whatever is on their mind. Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, career questions, and women's issues. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.

Jen lets clients set the pace and focuses on strengths and lived experience. She listens first, then works with each person to spot small, useful changes. Conversations may look at attachment and communication patterns, responses to loss, or difficulties with work and money. She also supports people dealing with anger and the ups and downs of bipolar illness.

Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working, existential ideas about meaning and choice, and solution-focused techniques to build concrete options. That mix aims to balance deeper reflection with short-term problem solving. Jen describes her style as broad minded, practical and compassionate.

Outside the consulting room she values nature, learning and connection. People who prefer a reflective but action-oriented process often find this style helpful. She encourages anyone unsure about how to start to bring one issue and take it from there.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist creates space for people to talk through what matters and helps them find their own solutions. Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and choice. It helps when people are questioning life purpose, facing big changes, or feeling stuck about future direction. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps towards clear goals and is useful when someone wants faster, action-oriented progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jen will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques suit their needs and goals. That might mean combining reflective conversation with concrete problem-solving as the client prefers.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and whether you prefer longer sessions for in-depth discussion or shorter sessions for focused problem-solving.
