About
Healing is grounded in the understanding that you are not broken and that your mind and body are interconnected.
Jen, the counsellor and yoga instructor at Finding Space Therapy and Embodied Healing in Nelson, Aotearoa, believes in a gentle and intuitive approach to therapy. She recognises the importance of the mind-body connexion and supports her clients in safely re-connecting with their inner world to cultivate their own innate wisdom and capacity for healing. With a passion for holistic and somatic approaches, Jen understands the impact of trauma on the body and is dedicated to helping individuals return to a sense of safety, being, and belonging.
Jen's personalised approach to healing addresses the fact that our experiences shape us and live not only in our minds but also in our bodies and nervous systems. She utilises evidence-based models such as trauma-informed psychotherapy (The Conversational Model), EMDR (for persistent pain and trauma), and Trauma Sensitive Yoga. Guided by intuition, Jen's role is to hold a safe space for clients to connect with their inner world, allowing for a deeper re-connexion with themselves.
At Finding Space Therapy and Embodied Healing, Jen offers a range of services to support clients on their healing journey. These services include therapy, EMDR, and embodied healing. Whether individuals are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, persistent pain, chronic fatigue, or insomnia, Jen bridges talk therapy and embodied healing practises to help them safely re-connect with their inner world. Through this process, clients gain awareness, agency, and overall well-being.
In addition to individual therapy, Jen also offers trauma-sensitive yoga group programmes. These programmes create a safe space for participants where they can engage in choice-based mindful movement. Emphasising empowerment, awareness, and re-connexion, the group programmes combine therapeutic yoga with trauma-sensitive approaches.
Jen's qualifications and affiliations contribute to her expertise in providing mind-body, trauma-informed therapy and healing. She is accredited in trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy (The Conversational Model) and incorporates evidence-based practises to support her clients' unique needs. Finding Space Therapy and Embodied Healing is designed to empower individuals to take control of their healing journey and create a sense of restoration and connexion with themselves.
