Meet Jenna McGonegal
I have always been drawn to mental health, relationships, and self-growth. Growing up, I saw the toll anxiety and depression could take on loved ones, but also the powerful impact that counselling support could have. I am registered and licensed in both Ontario and Nova Scotia, so I can work with you in person in Guelph or virtually anywhere in either province.
Because mental health runs in my family, I committed myself to understanding the mind - not only to support those close to me, but also to protect my own well-being. Through my studies in psychology and social work, I realized these tools could help far more people, and that realization inspired me to become a counsellor.
Today, I support clients in navigating stress and anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and the search for fulfillment - drawing on evidence-based approaches like ART, ACT, EFT, and DBT. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change.
Counselling techniques
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
A breakthrough therapy for trauma, anxiety, and painful memories. ART uses eye movements similar to those in REM sleep (like EMDR) to reframe difficult experiences and create lasting relief, often in just a few sessions.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
A values-based approach that helps you move past stress and anxiety by focusing on what truly matters. ACT builds mindfulness, resilience, and purpose so you can live with greater clarity and confidence.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
A skills-driven approach for managing emotions, handling stress, and building healthier relationships. DBT equips you with practical tools to create balance and stability in your everyday life.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
A therapy designed to strengthen the way you understand and work with your emotions. EFT transforms negative patterns into healthier ones, helping you improve relationships, deepen connection, and feel more in control.
Results vary; individual experiences may not be typical.
