About Jenny
Jenny Walker helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She works with issues like depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, addiction and career worries. Jenny is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience in Australia.
Her style is compassionate and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert in their life and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions. Jenny draws on simple, evidence-informed tools to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.
How Jenny works
Jenny’s background includes child protection and family support work. That experience gives her a solid grasp of how difficult transitions and past hurt affect current relationships and wellbeing. She brings a calm, grounded presence and a clear focus on safety and stability.
In sessions she mixes approaches to suit the problem and the person. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may be used alongside attachment-based thinking and emotionally-focused ideas. The emphasis is on skills you can practise and patterns you can change.
She also helps people with specific concerns such as body image, sleep problems, chronic illness, fertility and end-of-life matters. Jenny aims to create a space where people feel heard and leave with practical ways to move forward. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support options
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with practical alternatives to reduce symptoms and improve routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and attachment, helping people understand and shift interaction patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jenny works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs and goals. She will discuss options, try different strategies, and adjust the plan so it matches individual preferences and what is helpful in practice.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions are useful when less data is available or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support or people who prefer typed exchanges. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting and other commitments.
