Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a qualified and experienced social worker and counsellor supporting adults and children who have experienced difficult or overwhelming life events. I offer EMDR, play therapy and counselling appointments in Airlie Beach and telehealth sessions for adults across Australia. I provide a safe, supportive space for people who are feeling the impacts of trauma and are looking for things to change. While counselling often involves exploring serious and challenging experiences, I believe the process can also be engaging, meaningful, and even enjoyable.
My approach is client-centred and based on the belief that healing happens when people feel supported, and understood. I focus on building a genuine connection and a space to explore at your own pace. Sessions are tailored to each person and draw on evidence-based approaches including trauma-informed practice, EMDR, CBT, ACT, and creative therapies.
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I’m here to help. Feel free to get in touch for a chat to see if I might be the right fit for you.

I use an integrated approach, that draws from therapies such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, person centered therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural techniques. My aim is to help you unpack your experiences and gain a better understanding of your emotions, before processing distressing memories and reducing their impact on your life.
