Jenny Podorozhnaya  – Positive Future Self and Sisterhood Rising

Jenny Podorozhnaya – Positive Future Self and Sisterhood Rising

Hello, I’m Jenny. For the past 18 years, I’ve dedicated my life to the field of Psychotherapy, NLP training, and Clinical Supervision. My journey began in the beautiful landscapes of the United Kingdom, where I was born and first discovered my passion for helping others. Eight years ago, I found a new home under the sun-kissed skies of Australia, and it’s here that my journey has continued to flourish.

As someone who is proudly clinically registered with PACFA, my heart lies in guiding individuals towards realizing the incredible potential that lies within them. I believe that everyone is capable of so much more than they imagine, and it’s this belief that fuels my approach to therapy. There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than seeing someone discover and embrace their true capabilities.

My therapeutic approach is deeply influenced by the constructivist school, which respects and values each person’s unique life story. This perspective allows me to connect with each individual in a way that is both meaningful and personal, creating a warm and empathetic space for growth and healing.

Throughout my career, I’ve enriched my practice with additional training in Narrative Therapy, EMDR, DBT, and CBT. This diverse range of skills means I can offer a compassionate, holistic approach, tailored to meet the unique needs of each person I work with.

Beyond my individual therapy sessions, I find great joy in my role as an NLP Trainer and Clinical Supervisor. Here, I have the privilege of nurturing the next generation of therapists, sharing the wisdom and insights I’ve gained over the years. It’s a role that allows me to extend the reach of compassion and understanding in the world of psychotherapy.

In every interaction, whether it’s 1-1 or training groups, I strive to create an environment of warmth and empathy, where individuals feel genuinely heard and understood. My mission is to walk with you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery, helping you to unlock the doors to a life filled with potential and joy.
