Jen Murray , AASW

Jen Murray is a counsellor and an accredited social worker with 20 years of professional experience, offering calm, non-judgemental support to people facing a wide range of life challenges. She invites people to bring their worries, sadness, loss of hopes or dreams, anxiety about the future, relationship concerns, financial stress, family difficulties, career or study issues, spiritual questions, and life stage transitions. She makes space for conversations even when clients do not have the right words or a clear plan, and works collaboratively to explore what is on their mind and to find a path forward that feels right for them.

Jen describes her practice as trauma informed and strengths focussed, with a spiritual and existential lens when that is helpful. She is experienced in supporting stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, career questions, coping with life changes, family and workplace issues, anger, and bipolar-related concerns. Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, money and financial matters, self-love, and women’s issues.

Outside of her clinical work, Jen is a lover of nature, learning, adventure, and human connection. She approaches each person with broad-mindedness and professional experience, offering a steady and welcoming presence to help people move toward clearer thinking and greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Jen integrates client-centered therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused therapy into her work, tailoring each approach to the needs of the person she is supporting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own insights and choices - this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship issues, and navigating life transitions.

Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, purpose, and values, helping people to face uncertainty and make choices that align with what matters to them. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths, helping people identify small, achievable changes to reduce stress and move toward clear goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jen collaborates with each person to determine which methods feel most helpful, adjusting techniques based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so the work remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and can help people maintain momentum between sessions while receiving care from wherever they are located in Australia.
