About
Jennifer "Jenny" Heraghty is an ACA-registered counsellor at level 4 with 11 years of practice supporting individuals and, on occasion, couples. Her early work in a community centre focused on anxiety, depression and life transitions, and she provided targeted support in leaving violence assistance and anger management. Over time she developed extensive experience working with people affected by intimate partner violence and later moved to roles concentrated in the domestic violence and child protection reporting arena.
Jenny practices from a trauma-informed perspective within a person-centred and strengths-based framework. She is empathic and non-judgemental, and she deliberately creates space for clients to name difficult experiences and consider steps forward. Her specialties include stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression and coping with life changes, with additional attention to communication difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, post-traumatic stress and social anxiety.
She aims to collaborate with each person to identify realistic next steps, whether those are small daily changes or larger life decisions. Jenny holds a belief in people’s capacity to choose paths that reflect their values and offers practical support for moving toward those goals.

Online sessions with a trauma-informed, person-centred focus
Jennifer offers online appointments that combine a trauma-informed stance with person-centred and strengths-based methods. In a trauma-informed framework she attends to safety, pacing and the impact of past hurt while helping clients notice resources and coping strategies. The person-centred element emphasizes listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace to explore what matters most to them.The strengths-based approach highlights existing abilities and supports clients to build on those capacities when addressing stress, anxiety, depression, family challenges, or the aftermath of abuse. This combination tends to fit people who prefer collaborative, paced work that names both difficulties and practical options for change.
Sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those formats can be used to discuss immediate concerns, plan next steps, and maintain ongoing contact according to each person’s needs and preferences.
