Leticia Paiva de Paula

Kia Ora! I’m Leticia, originally from Brazil, and I’ve proudly called New Zealand home since 2017.

I believe that integrating mental and physical health is key to creating lasting, positive change. My approach is holistic and person-centered. With my background in psychology and health coaching, I aim to provide compassionate, practical support for individuals seeking balance and resilience in their mental and physical health.

I specialize in working with individuals facing a range of challenges, including:

Wellbeing and Lifestyle Changes: Sustainable lifestyle adjustments, stress management, and building resilience.
Burnout and Career Challenges: Support for those experiencing workplace stress, perfectionism, and high standards.
Emotional and Mental Health: Guidance for managing anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions.

I believe in small, meaningful changes that lead to significant transformations. Whether through brief interventions or longer-term support, I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

Background and Experience

With over 15 years of experience in corporate settings, I’m dedicated to helping both individuals and organizations reach their goals. In my Human Resources roles, I focused on mental health and wellbeing, developing initiatives to foster a positive, supportive environment and providing confidential support for employees navigating life’s challenges.

Now, in private practice, I work closely with clients to help them overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve meaningful personal growth.

The Benefits of Counseling

Enhance Relationships: Build healthier connections by improving communication, understanding, and conflict resolution skills.
Develop Self-Awareness: Dive deep into your thoughts and behaviors to uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and discover new ways to grow.
Embrace Change: Whether you’re navigating a big life transition or seeking personal growth, we’ll explore your goals and the steps you can take to achieve meaningful change.

What Guides My Practice

In my work, I am guided by Carl Jung’s words: “Learn your theories as well as you can, but but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul.”

For me, this quote is a reminder that while knowledge and techniques are valuable, true healing comes from simply being present, human to human. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.
