Jenny Owen, Sleep Psychologist

Jenny Owen, NZPsB, is a NZ registered psychologist, CBT therapist and trained in EMDR. Jenny is also experienced in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Jenny qualified as a Health Psychologist in 2016 in the UK, where she supported clients to achieve their goals in a variety of services. Her broad range of experience includes working in weight management, recovery from addictions and helping people to navigate the psychological aspects of managing long-term health conditions.

Jenny has trained in cognitive behavioural therapy and practised as a CBT therapist in several mental health services. Here she supported people with problems like depression, stress, anxiety and sleep disorders. Her work has also included helping clients build confidence in making their way back into the workplace after long periods of unemployment due to physical or mental health problems. She has a strength-based approach and enjoys supporting people to thrive by helping to recognise their strengths and values and developing skills.

Jenny developed a special interest in sleep and trained in CBT-i for insomnia while working in healthcare, where many people experience difficulties with sleep. She has recognised that improving sleep often has positive outcomes for managing physical and mental health.

In 2020 she moved to New Zealand and made Blenheim her home where she has worked in the community supporting clients through the full range of life's challenges, empowering clients to enhance their mental and physical wellbeing. While not at work, she enjoys tramping, running, dancing and spending time with her partner and cat.
