Currently at capacity and closed to new clients – please email me to be waitlisted.

Hi, I’m Averil. I’m an experienced, registered counsellor in private practice online and in-person sessions in Birkenhead on the North Shore, Auckland. Visit my personal website for lots more information, my availability, and easy online booking.

I work with adult individuals and couples (18+) of all ages, and particularly enjoy working with those in their 20s – 30s as well as the young-at-heart. If you’re having trouble with anxiety, struggling with self-worth or relationships, or in the process of making decisions and life changes, I’m here to help you figure it out.

I’m an action-oriented therapist, so I don’t only listen, I send clients home with tools and techniques to use between sessions.

For individuals I offer both short-term counselling for specific issues, and longer-term therapy for deeper insight into your past and present, personal growth and change.

I have specialist training in couples work and am New Zealand’s only certified Relational Life Therapist, a modern and direct approach developed by renowned therapist Terry Real that targets long-lasting, meaningful change.

Being a human isn’t easy, but there are ways to make it smoother, happier, and more fulfilling. With compassion, commitment, and a little humour, let’s work through the issues you are facing now and build you up to feel confident in your future.
