Jenny Halbgewachs

Jenny Halbgewachs brings over 20 years of experience in the helping professions, working with families, couples, and individuals from diverse backgrounds and at various stages of life. In counselling sessions, she takes a genuine interest in clients’ stories, including their struggles and successes. She is passionate about providing high-quality therapeutic and professional care to help clients find solutions and build on their innate strengths and resilience. Her creative approach helps clients explore their inner world and emotions while developing practical skills and coping strategies, including mindfulness and relationship building.

Currently, Jenny works with individuals, couples, and children. She recently completed a certification to help support women through the perimenopause and menopause transition—a whole-body and life transition. In this work, she helps clients explore their experiences and provides information to support their care for themselves and their relationships.

Jenny works collaboratively with couples to develop practical skills that matter to both partners and support the strengthening and healing of their relationship. She honours each couple’s unique experiences and the vision they have for their partnership.

For children aged 7–12, Jenny uses creativity and play to build trust and connection while keeping sessions enjoyable. Through this approach, she aims to help children become more aware of their feelings and develop age-appropriate relationship skills. She believes parents play a vital role in this work and considers their involvement essential.

Jenny works with individuals of any age in her grief-related work. She recognizes that everyone experiences and expresses grief differently, shaped by their culture, beliefs, and relationship to their loss. Grief is an area particularly close to her heart.

Jenny has a Master of Arts in Counselling and is a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC). Her therapeutic approach draws on a range of evidence-based psychological methods tailored to the needs of each individual or group. Clients can meet with her in person, by phone, or virtually, providing options for accessing counselling.
