About

I’m Jen, a registered psychologist working with clients online Australia-wide via telehealth from Katoomba NSW — Dharug and Gundungurra Country. My approach to therapy is non-pathologising at its core. I believe neurodivergence is not a deficit to be corrected, that nature is a profound therapeutic partner, and that the right therapy feels less like fixing and more like finally coming home to yourself. I discovered I was autistic later in life. It reframed my past, softened my self-criticism, and helped me to understand myself in deeper ways. Through this lived experience, I can deeply relate to the challenges of navigating a world that feels like it wasn’t built for you.
