Personal
My name is Jenny and I was raised in a farming community in the South Island and then went to high school in Christchurch. I have also lived in Wellington, Auckland, Waikato and overseas, and I now make my permanent home in Tauranga. I have attended Canterbury University, Bay of Plenty Polytechnic and Wintec in Hamilton for my tertiary education.
Prior to becoming a counsellor I have worked in the investment, pharmaceutical, and engineering industries in various roles ranging from sales and marketing to accounting and office management / administration.
I am a mum of three teenage children who all attend college in Tauranga, and their various activities keep me busy and challenged.
Outside of work I enjoy running, gym, reading, relaxing, beach, travelling, watching sport and spending time with my family and friends.
Counselling
I work with individuals, couples, youth and family’s. I have specific experience with at-risk youth and Family’s who are in crisis, along with relationship counselling for couples, where I primarily use a mix of E.F.T (emotionally focused therapy) and Gottman Therapy.
I work with a range of issues; which includes but is not exclusive to:
-
Relationships
-
Parenting
-
Step-parenting
-
Communication
-
Intimacy and Sex Therapy
-
Blended Family Relationships
-
Alcohol & Drug Addiction Counselling
-
Stress Management / Relaxation
-
Sexual Abuse Counselling

Anxiety & Depression
-
Domestic Violence
-
Grief & Loss
I have a firm belief that people can change, that couples can learn to love again, that youth can be supported to make healthy choices through turbulent times and that families can find a way forward to where they feel secure, connected and loved within their family. I am dedicated to my counselling, to offering support, and to working collaboratively to find strategies and solutions for dealing with issues that have become overwhelming for people.
On-Going Professional Development & Supervision
I am dedicated to keeping informed and up to date with counselling practice and theory and I regularly attend various training sessions and workshops / seminar. I have monthly external supervision and I also participate in weekly peer supervision and three-monthly cultural supervision.
Hours
I am available Monday to Friday with a wide range of session times.
