I bring a wealth of experience to my counselling, having worked with families, couples and individuals for more than twenty years. I hold a Diploma in Social Work and in Counselling and have certificates in Supervision and Family Ministry. I am particularly interested in grief and loss and other life changing events. I am also available to counsel for decision making in an unexpected pregnancy and can offer post abortion counselling.
I take an integrated approach in my work, including CBT, person-centred and narrative therapy. I consider the Christian values of compassion and openness an important characteristic to my life and try to reflect these within my practice.
I adhere to the NZCCA Code of ethics and have regular supervision.

My name is Jen. I’m from Southern California, but have been here in NZ for almost 16 years thanks to my Kiwi husband. We’ve got two ‘tween’ children who keep us laughing.I've done a range of work in the past as an English teacher (and ESOL), driving instructor, academic programme administrator, and home-school parent. Now that I am in my third year of a Counselling Degree, I'm loving how all these experiences come together to help me relate to a wide range of people and issues.
I am learning to use a couple of different counselling methods including Narrative and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), and I aim to help my clients discover and implement their strengths. I work with the code of ethics found in the NZCCA and NZAC, plus I attend regular supervision.
