Counselling Approach

I provide a warm empathetic non-judgemental space for my clients. I work with clients through their problems, and explore their needs and perspectives. I am aware that each client is different and individual, and because of that I work alongside the you to explore the best ways forward for you.

I am very client centred in my counselling, within this I will use different ways of working with you, these can include Narrative Therapy, ACT, Solution Focused therapy, mindfulness and grounding techniques and Motivational Interviewing.

Experience

I am a Provisional Member Registered with NZAC. I have a Bachelor of Counselling from Weltec The past two years I have worked with clients through a range of issues, in particular, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, stress and life change.

I have an interest in working cross-culturally and a strong interest in working with those who are neurodiverse. I am an ADHDer, Dyslexic and Dyspraxic and I parent a child who has ADHD and ASD. I understand through my life experiences the challenges and rewards parenting those with neurodiversity can bring and have navigated numerous challenging issues that these bring.
