About Jen
Jen Murray is a counsellor and an AASW accredited social worker with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stressed, anxious, grieving, handling relationship strain, managing career or workplace issues, and those struggling with anger and life changes. Speak plainly about what’s happening and she will help you sort through it.
Clients can bring a single worry or a tangle of concerns. Jen invites practical conversation about things like finances, attachment or abandonment fears, communication problems, separation and divorce, and questions about life purpose. She says you don’t need the right words to begin.
Her way of working is person-focused and direct. Sessions look at strengths and what’s already working, while also examining beliefs and choices that get in the way. She draws on existential ideas about meaning, client-centred listening, and solution-focused steps to try next.
Jen describes her approach as trauma-informed and strengths-focused. That means she pays attention to past hurt and current coping, and helps people build small, workable changes. Practical tasks and short-term goals can be part of sessions.
Outside work she enjoys nature, learning and time with others. That outlook filters into a style that is down-to-earth and straightforward. If you want to talk about anger, relationship strain or life transitions, she offers space to name the problem and try real steps forward.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Jen uses client-centred listening to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. That approach means the conversation follows the client’s concerns, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help people find their own answers.She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical steps that can change daily experience. Solution-focused work helps when someone wants quick, concrete adjustments for anger, stress or workplace strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jen treats this as a joint process. She will discuss options with you, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps meet your goals and preferences.
Confirm the supported session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer to speak without being on camera or who need to join from different locations. Ask about current session options when you schedule to find what will work for your routine.
