Founder

I support youth and adults through person-centred and trauma-informed counselling. I work alongside people navigating trauma, chronic illness, and life’s challenges, and I provide affirming support for those in the rainbow community. My focus is on creating a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space where clients can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I integrate creative and expressive approaches, as well as somatic practices, to help clients connect with themselves in meaningful ways. I encourage emotional expression, resilience, and self-discovery, tailoring my approach to each person’s unique needs and journey. If you’re looking for a supportive space to explore your journey, reconnect with yourself, and feel empowered to move forward, I’d love to walk alongside you.

My hope is to offer a space where people feel safe, seen, and supported—especially when life feels heavy or uncertain. My background is in counselling, social work, and education, and over the years I’ve walked alongside children, young people, and women navigating things like anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and major life changes. I’m particularly interested in the experiences of migrants and women moving through complex emotional landscapes, often quietly. I bring a person-centred approach that’s grounded in trauma-informed practice. I often draw on mindfulness and somatic tools, guided by curiosity and care. I’m currently studying towards a Master’s in Counselling, continuing to grow in ways that help me better support others. I know that sometimes just getting through the day can take a lot. If you're carrying things that feel too much to hold alone, this is a space where we can safely explore what matters most to you, your strengths and options, and move toward your goals.

I’m Jenna, and I’m here to support you through life’s challenges. At Mindful Connections, my goal is to provide a safe, caring space where you feel valued and heard. Together, we can work on processing emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a way that promotes healing and growth. I believe that everyone deserves compassion and understanding. Whether you're navigating grief or seeking personal development, I’m committed to helping you discover your strengths and step into the fullness of who you are. I aim to foster an environment where you feel comfortable being vulnerable and open, and where your unique qualities are recognized and celebrated. I believe in drawing out the best in you, acknowledging the strengths and potential that already exist within you. At Mindful Connections, I’m dedicated to helping you find healing, growth, and transformation. Let’s work together to help you thrive.

Drawing from my own recovery journey after a serious assault, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed care with deep empathy and understanding. I specialise in supporting women affected by domestic violence. I also provide care for those experiencing addiction. My holistic, client-centred approach includes Motivational Interviewing, person-centred therapy, Mauri Ora, Black Rain Trauma-Informed Practice, Te Whare Tapa Whā, CBT, and DSM-5 assessments. I am committed to helping clients build resilience and healing in a safe and respectful environment. I look forward to supporting you on your path to wellbeing.

I specialize in helping adults, teens, and couples navigate challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients challenge and change negative thought patterns, Mindfulness-Based Therapy to encourage staying present and reducing anxiety, and Person-Centered Therapy to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space for self-discovery. I am committed to empowering my clients with the tools and strategies they need to achieve personal growth and mental well-being. If you're ready to take the next step toward a healthier, more balanced life, I’m here to support you on that journey. Book with me today!

I’m a counsellor who supports people facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and navigating life after trauma. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and supported as we work through whatever you're going through. I’ve worked in Kaitaia where I had the privilege of working alongside school teachers and whānau to support children and teens experiencing tough times or behaviour changes. I’ve also supported with rangatahi (18-24 year olds) to find their strengths and resilience as they face their futures. My approach is gentle, culturally aware, and focused on building trust and resilience whether you're an adult, young person, or parent needing support. You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

I support individuals, whānau, and communities through life’s toughest challenges, including addiction, trauma, and family struggles. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to break free from cycles of harm, but I believe healing is possible with the right support. My approach is holistic and grounded in Te Ao Māori perspectives, ensuring care for the mind, body, spirit, and whānau. I draw on The Mauri Ora Framework to help families move from crisis to well-being and Te Whare Tapa Whā to restore balance. I also use CBT and Unconditional Positive Regard, providing a safe and non-judgmental space for people to heal, grow, and reclaim their lives. No matter what you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out today, and let’s take the first step toward healing together.

I became a counsellor because I have always enjoyed supporting other people across different aspects of my life. This includes managing people and businesses, working in the fields of health and data, and practicing yoga and art therapy. I’ve lived in three countries and travelled to many others, and am grateful to call Wellington my home. I can work with you on a range of concerns such as anxiety, grief, sleep, depression, life transitions, conflict, and health. I practice pluralistically, which means I tailor our work together to you, drawing from a range of therapy methods.
