Jen Purvis (Dewdrop Counselling, LLC)

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite yourself?
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure things out by yourself.

Life can pile up in ways we don’t expect. You might be feeling anxious, burnt out, grieving, managing chronic illness, navigating relationship stress, or simply sensing that something isn’t quite right.

Whatever you’re going through, it matters — and you deserve support that feels safe, kind, and genuinely human.

I’m a counsellor based in Johnsonville, and I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. I know what it’s like to feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next step. Those experiences are what drew me to counselling, and they’re why I care deeply about creating a space where you can show up just as you are — without judgment, pressure, or having to “hold it together.”

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I’m not here to fix you or tell you who you should be. Instead, we’ll gently explore what’s going on for you, what’s feeling hard, and what matters most — and work together to find practical, meaningful ways forward at your pace.

If you’re ready to talk, I’m here.

How I work

My work is grounded in humanistic values — your story, your voice, and your pace always come first. I use a pluralistic approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic methods so sessions are shaped around what feels most helpful for you. Our work together is flexible, collaborative, and guided by your feedback.

I’m committed to offering thoughtful, high-quality care through ongoing professional development and lived experience. Together, we’ll approach your challenges with curiosity, warmth, and a focus on what supports your wellbeing.
