About Jen
AASW accredited social worker and counsellor with 20 years of experience, Jen Murray works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and major life changes. She also supports people managing career concerns, family issues, anger and bipolar conditions. Sessions are offered in English in Australia and international clients are not accepted.
Jen uses client-centred counselling, existential ideas and solution-focused work. She asks about what matters most to the person and listens for practical steps that might help. Conversations can cover attachment and abandonment wounds, communication problems, divorce and separation, money worries and questions about life purpose.
People do not need a clear plan or special language to begin. Jen invites whatever is on a person’s mind and explores it together. She focuses on strengths and considers how earlier experiences and trauma may be affecting current feelings and choices.
Her style is direct and down-to-earth. She draws on existential thinking when people face questions about meaning or values. She uses solution-focused techniques when someone wants short-term change or clearer next steps.
Jen also pays attention to spiritual concerns and women’s issues when they arise. Practical topics such as workplace stress, study difficulties, forgiveness and self-love are commonly discussed. Her approach aims to identify manageable actions and clearer perspectives in everyday life.
How Jen’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach aim to give the client space to describe concerns and to be heard, which helps with emotional clarity and next steps.Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and life choices. In an online setting this can help when someone is questioning purpose, facing major change, or weighing difficult decisions; the work is about clarifying what matters and how to act on it.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and achievable goals. This approach can be useful when someone wants a short-term plan, clearer steps or quicker problem-solving between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and will use that information to settle on the best methods together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar location or who need a quieter setting with less background movement.
