Jenn is a Clinical Psychologist. She has a warm, empathic, collaborative, trauma-informed approach to therapy. She is passionate about supporting and empowering people to improve their emotional wellbeing, increase quality of life, cope with difficulties, manage distress, and bring about meaningful, lasting change. She is experienced in the assessment and treatment of a range of mental health concerns, with particular expertise in treating complex presentations from age 19 years upwards, and across adulthood, including: complex/childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders, grief/loss, mood and anxiety disorders (depression, bipolar, worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety), attachment disorders, adjustment disorder, emotional dysregulation and personality disorders. 

Jenn’s approach to therapy is individualised to each client’s needs, and informed by the understanding that for many clients, childhood trauma shapes and forms responses to current situations, and may underlie distress and difficulties. Similarly, adult onset trauma may also inform current difficulties. Jenn's caring, sensitive, relational style provides a supportive and safe therapeutic space for clients to learn skills to manage distress, and explore and overcome past trauma and/or current difficulties. Jenn offer EMDR therapy in person and online.
