Kia Ora!
My name is Jem and I’m a counsellor in Windy Wellington. I work out of a little plant filled office every Friday at Level 2/150 Featherston St, and also engage in some online counselling.
I offer a confidential, supportive, non-judgmental space to help you navigate what is troubling you. Trained in a variety of counselling styles, I work alongside you to figure out what you would potentially benefit the most from and give you a range of options to pick from. Counselling can look very different for each client; from your usual sit down and reflect on your day to day, deep dives into the past, goal setting and planning, to even sitting by the ocean for some guided mindfulness. Each session is personalised to you.
My Areas of particular focus include:
- depression
- anxieties
- ADHD
- Neurodiversity
- grief
- identity
- gender/sexual identity
- LGBTQI+
- life transitions
- Process Addiction (Phone, Technology, Social Media etc)
- Disability
- existential or spiritual crises
- personality disorders
- Trauma
- emotional regulation
- bereavement by suicide
I do free 10-15 Minute Consultations via phone call, to help you see if I am the correct practitioner for you (I know finding a counsellor that you can get along well with is rather important!)
I’m also a registered Aoake te Rā provider (Specialist Bereavement by Suicide Therapy), ACC sensitive Claims Named Provider (Prov) and am available for general WINZ funding (10-30 sessions) as well.
