Cat Jensen
Cat Jensen is a Registered Clinical Counsellor whose child and youth-focused practice is grounded in connection, play, and emotional growth. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in education, mental health, and counselling, she supports children, youth, and families as they navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and care.
Cat believes that young people thrive when they feel safe, understood, and connected. Her approach is relational, strengths-based, and developmentally responsive, helping children and youth build emotional awareness, confidence, resilience, and social-emotional skills through play-based, expressive, and evidence-informed therapeutic practices.
Rooted in a deep belief in belonging and the healing power of relationships, Cat creates calm, welcoming spaces where young people can feel seen, valued, and accepted for who they are. She works collaboratively with families and caregivers to foster meaningful growth, strengthen relationships, navigate big feelings, and support young people in developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their unique strengths.
Cat understands that when a young person is struggling, families often need support too. She values partnering with parents, caregivers and other support people, recognizing the important role they play in a young person’s wellbeing. Through collaboration, guidance, and open communication, she helps families better understand their child’s experiences while building practical strategies that support growth both in and outside of counselling sessions.
Whether a young person is experiencing anxiety, emotional challenges, social difficulties, life transitions, or simply needs a safe space to explore their experiences, Cat is committed to helping young people build the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to flourish.
