Bella Crane

Counselling Services

Kia ora, I’m Bella, a provisionally registered counsellor. I offer in person and online sessions based in Warkworth and the Puhoi/Ahuroa Valley area.

My main areas of specialty are with young people aged 12-25 years old.

I have over four years’ experience working as a counsellor and have extensive history working with a range of people and diverse challenges. People often describe counselling with me as inviting, caring and genuine. 

Whether you are a parent seeking support for your teenager or child, or are seeking support for yourself, I offer a safe and supportive space that is tailored to you. 

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to help you navigate life’s ups and downs with warmth and empathy.

Counselling Approach

I draw from a range of different modalities and approaches within counselling. I believe in the power of storytelling, creativity, and mindfulness to help you discover your strengths and create positive change in your life. That’s why I incorporate modalities like narrative therapy, art therapy, and mindfulness practices into our sessions. Together, we’ll explore your unique story and tap into your inner wisdom and resilience.

I also draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and Te Whare Tapa Wha, honouring the holistic well-being of mind, body, spirit, and connections. With a strengths-based and spiritually grounded approach, I’m here to help you uncover your potential, find meaning, and live authentically.
