My Approach

Jennifer takes a holistic and integrative approach to work with young people and their families; meaning she has a combined therapeutic model which enables multiple therapies to interact to be most beneficial to the young person. Some of these schools of therapy include relational attachment, psychodynamic, humanistic and transpersonal psychotherapy. All therapy modalities are underpinned by research a science.

When working with the young person some of the techniques they may experience could include, body, breath and dream, or any form of creative arts such as movement, music, visual arts and more.

Jennifer’s professional training in somatic awareness, creative arts, sleep & dreams, family work and body and breath techniques allows a fully holistic approach supporting the totality of the young person’s bio-psycho-social-spiritual development.

Jennifer’s holistic approach recognises the importance of supporting the totality of the young person in development, that is all parts of their development including emotional, social, spiritual, physical and psychological. Through the time in therapy Jennifer and the young person to discover what approach to therapy is the correct for all parts of their holistic health.

Where supportive Jennifer works alongside the young person's family and support networks across all environments.
