About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jenny" Heraghty offers support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, and provides practical guidance around communication problems, separation and feelings of isolation. Jenny writes plainly and listens carefully so people can say what is hard to say.
Jenny is an ACA counsellor with 11 years of experience. Much of her work was at a community centre where she supported people with anxiety, depression and adapting to life changes.
Background and approach
She also provided assistance around leaving violent relationships and offered anger management support. More recently Jenny has worked in roles focused on domestic violence and child protection reporting. That work deepened her trauma-informed skills and her ability to hold difficult material without judgement.
She blends a trauma-informed stance with a person-centred, strengths-based framework. Sessions with Jenny tend to be calm and straightforward. She helps people name what they are feeling, spot unhelpful patterns and try small practical changes.
Her approach emphasises choice and personal strengths rather than blame. People can expect a steady, empathic presence and practical steps to move forward. Jenny aims to help people make decisions that reflect what they want in life and to take realistic small and larger steps toward those goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy works
Jenny works with approaches that focus on safety, strengths and choice. A trauma-informed approach helps people understand how past harms affect current reactions and relationships; it supports pacing difficult material and building emotional regulation skills. A person-centred approach emphasises listening, empathy and the client’s own goals, helping people to decide what changes matter most. Strengths-based work spots existing skills and resources so people can use them to face stress, anxiety or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where practical steps are chosen together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are flexible and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
