INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
Overcome, Heal, Grow
My commitment is to walk supportively alongside you and use all my professional learning and experience to hold the space for your healing and growth.
No matter what you are going through, I look forward to meeting you and honouring your intention to do "the mahi" to find you a new way to experience your journey.
I have experience working with a wide range of issues and can flexibly move between multiple models of counselling to help you. I can work with emotions, thoughts, actions, behaviours and feelings and will endeavour to be transparent with you in the process of counselling so you can understand why we utilize different approaches. There is no "trickery", just a shared journey that best suits your needs.
I know taking the step to go to counselling can feel huge. You will be welcomed with empathy and we will work at a pace that suits you. You always have the option of letting me know if things are not working and I will commit to exploring all avenues to help you.
Our initial meeting is crucial for both me and you to to decide whether we can or should work together. It's your opportunity to ask questions, to find out more about the process of counselling and discuss what you hope to get from our sessions.
If you think that I may be able to help you, feel free to contact me via this website for a 10 minute initial call to see if I can help you in counselling.
