About Me

Portrait of Jenny Claire (Jennifer Schulze), a Registered Counsellor based in South Africa, for her professional private practice.

Hi, I’m Jennifer, the Registered Counsellor behind Jenny Claire Counselling

I am a Registered Counsellor with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (PRC 0043230), offering online counselling across South Africa for adolescents, individuals, and couples.

I have always been fascinated by psychology, particularly how our thoughts, emotions, and sense of identity shape our well-being. My work focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore challenges, gain insight, and develop healthier coping strategies.

My approach is client-centred, compassionate, and collaborative, helping people feel seen, heard, and understood as they navigate life’s difficulties.

What You Can Expect

about me

Counselling doesn’t require you to have all the answers. It simply starts with showing up for yourself. Sessions are collaborative, guided by your needs, and always based on informed consent. You choose the pace, the direction, and what feels right for you.

I strive to offer a space that is:

  • Confidential and ethically grounded
  • Non-judgmental and inclusive
  • Respectful of your autonomy and lived experience

Practice Information

  • Sessions are offered fully online, making counselling accessible from the comfort of your own space
  • I currently work with Individuals and Families, with plans to expand to couples in the future
  • I work with Medical Aid and Private pay options
  • I am a member of the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA)

If you’re considering counselling and wondering whether this space is right for you, you’re welcome to explore the website or reach out via the contact details provided. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
