Counselling Therapy to reduce or eliminate the problem of Anxiety
Thinking about therapy, is enough of a reason to reach out for support. Don’t wait for things to get more complicated! I am here to work in collaboration with you.
Therapeutic Counselling Sessions with me are warm, genuine and meaningful to you. Your values, skills, abilities and existing strengths will assist you in responding to the current challenges you are facing. My role is to make these more visible and to guide you to use them to mobilize away from the problems you are facing.
Therapeutic support with me can take a variety of forms from video chat or phone, to texting on a secure smart phone application (something like whats app but secure). Connect with what would best suite you, your needs and finances.

About Jenny
My approach is highly collaborative, respectful and non-blaming. I view problems as separate from people and recognize that people have many values, commitments and competencies. I have developed a creative way to help you mobilize away from the problems that are preventing you from living your best life. And, I am interested in re-envisioning what therapy is ‘supposed’ to look like and borrow the invitation of Rumi, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there”
Jenny brings to therapeutic sessions a Masters Degree in Narrative Therapy and Community Work from the University of Melbourne and a Master Therapeutic Counsellor (MTC #1045) designation from the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT). Jenny has been licensed to practice Counselling with ACCT since 2013 and has over ten years of experience supporting folks on their journey to mental wellness.

Benefits of Virtual Mental Health Therapy and Text Counselling
Convenience and reduced barriers
Video conference or telephone appointments make it possible to have an appointment wherever and whenever. This kind of flexibility makes it more possible for individuals with busy schedules or time-intensive jobs, to seek out this kind of support. This also includes commute time if you live in a rural area, scheduling conflicts, transportation issues etc. Through online options, distance or limited mobility will not prevent you from accessing the support you need.
Ease of Access
Sometimes a busy schedule isn’t the only thing keeping us from therapy. Perhaps a new baby or difficulty finding childcare could be the difference between making it to your therapy appointment or skipping it. Or you may be traveling, and unable to meet with your therapist in person. Tele-counselling allows your therapist to literally meet you where you are.
Fewer Missed Appointments and charges
Even though we might recognize therapy as being important, sometimes other things get in the way. There might be too much traffic, or an end-of-day meeting runs late. These unexpected occurrences can cause missed appointments. This can in turn have a negative impact on mental health. Being able to video conference or phone with your therapist gives you the time and power to take your appointment wherever. At the office, for instance, or from the comfort of your home after a long day.
Expanded Reach
Many individuals around the country face mobility problems, or live far outside of a city and far from services they need. These hindrances can prevent them from seeking and getting the care they need. Tele-counseling allows therapists to expand their reach beyond their local area. It allows them to support folks who may be farther away or unable to come into an office for an appointment.
Calming
Telecounselling can support a sense of calm and reduced anxiety to those who may find it anxiety provoking to reach out to a stranger to ask for support with their personal struggle. Therapy is a place of vulnerability and for many tele-counselling can make it possible to engage without the experience of heightened anxiety. You remain in your comfort zone, and you are talking to a phone or computer which can be a supportive barrier in reducing social anxiety.
Safety During a Pandemic/Flu Season
Telecounselling reduces risk of viral transmission. It provides access to much needed support without the need for extensive PPE, which costs money, and the stress and worry that can grow with the possibility of transmitting the virus.
TEXT Counselling!
Field Pansy Counselling now offers a cutting edge secure Texting Therpy through a WhatsApp-like smart phone application called Theratext. It meets Canadian online security measures.
