Terressa Zwart

Kia ora, I am a qualified Counsellor, and I am here to support you on your journey toward emotional well-being.

Having navigated many life challenges myself and raised three children, I understand how tough life can be at times. I bring a wealth of personal experience, empathy, and understanding to my counselling practice, and I know that healing and growth are possible no matter what you’re facing.

I welcome clients of all ages and walks of life, including young people navigating the different stages of life and the challenges they bring. I have experience working with both young and older individuals and truly enjoy supporting people through various life transitions. Whether you’re a teenager facing academic or social pressures, a young adult adjusting to new responsibilities, or someone experiencing significant life changes, I am here to help.

My approach to counseling is grounded in person-centered therapy, which means I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express yourself. I also integrate solution-focused and narrative therapy techniques to help you develop practical solutions, overcome obstacles, and shift the stories you may have about yourself.

I can support you with:

• Anxiety and stress management
• Depression or mood concerns
• Life transitions and decision-making
• Building self-esteem and confidence
• Processing trauma or difficult life events
• Personal development and goal setting

I’m here to listen and guide you with compassion, drawing from both my professional training and personal experience.

Let’s work together to navigate your challenges and help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
