She is registered with the ACA at Level 4, an Australian counselling association credential that reflects her training and professional standing.

Alongside this, she has supported clients impacted by intimate partner violence, including practical and emotional assistance with leaving violence and work focused on anger management.
More recently, Jennifer has worked exclusively within domestic violence and child protection reporting contexts, deepening her focus on trauma and its effects. Her counselling style is trauma-informed and grounded in person-centred, strengths-based practice, aiming to create a steady, respectful space where difficult experiences can be spoken about without judgment. Jennifer believes people have the capacity to make choices aligned with what they want for their lives, and she works alongside clients as they take both small and significant steps toward meaningful change.
