Kia ora! I bring a sensitive and intuitive approach to counselling, that is authentic, non-judgmental and empathetic. Many experiences in our lives have an impact on our well-being, such as work pressures, family and relationship challenges, loss, trauma, abuse, and unmet needs in childhood. Each one of us will be affected differently. I provide a safe space for you to feel supported and cared for while processing difficult experiences and emotions.
I can offer you support and tools to gain greater understanding, manage thoughts and emotions, heal past experiences, increase your well-being and create new behaviours to move forward in your life with confidence. You will learn about your own innate healing wisdom and how to work with it.
The therapeutic framework I work from is Person-Centered, which understands that each person is unique. Therefore, I draw upon a number of modalities to tailor to your needs. I believe you are the expert in your life and I trust in your innate wisdom. Together, in partnership, we uncover what will work best for you to achieve your goals for counselling.
