Please note:

Christmas / New Year Closure: I will be closed from December 20th 2020, re-opening on Tuesday January 26th 2021.

My practice is currently full and at present I am not taking new clients: This will be reassessed in February 2021. Clients who I have already seen during the year are welcome to enquire re availability.

Wellness: If you are unwell with cold or flu symptoms, please stay home. If you are up to talking we can arrange an alternate method such as phone or an online session.

I believe you know you best.
However stress can make it hard to work out what we need and want.

Why counselling?

Speaking our thoughts out loud in a safe place can allow us to hear them differently and consider them in new ways.

How does counselling with me work?

Together we can work through your challenges in a confidential space, with honest conversation.

We work with your current worldview and in our korero we may unpack your story and other possible stories; check what else is in the picture, or what might be; consider goals and practical results; look at patterns and boundaries. To support you in doing this I utilise techniques from Narrative Therapy, Te Whare Tapa Wha, Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centred Therapy and Interactive Drawing Therapy (IDT).

My work is underpinned by ngā Tiriti principles of Partnership, Protection, and Participation, and the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) Code of Ethics.
