Ms Julie Jensen Counsellor

Changes in Between PO Box 2373, Ivanhoe East, Victoria, 3079

Overview

I work with adults experiencing grief and loss, major life transitions, and chronic disorganisation, including hoarding. This includes bereavement, companion animal loss, non-death losses, and periods where life feels overwhelming or unmanageable. I offer counselling and psychotherapy that is relational, grounded, and practical, with space for emotional processing as well as psychoeducation and support for everyday functioning. I welcome NDIS participants (plan-managed and self-managed) and work with support coordinators and plan managers. Sessions are available via telehealth Australia-wide, as well as walk-and-talk sessions, home visits, and in-room appointments in Melbourne’s north-eastern suburbs.
