“I am a Counsellor and level 3 member of the Australian Counselling Association(ACA) as well as a full member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC). I have a Masters in Psychological Counselling obtained in 2016. My counselling experience includes: Issues pertaining to trauma/crisis Response, workplace/ personal issues, self-esteem, self-awareness, assertiveness, anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, anger, abuse, relationship concerns, mediation and facilitation, life changes, and career transition counselling. My aim is to support and empower people in a confidential and non judgemental manner to facilitate changes in order to move towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My practice is consistent with the Code of Ethics of the ACA and NZAC. In line with this, I receive regular supervision for my work”.
In addition I enjoy supporting individuals to connect with themselves and the people around them. Working on values - what is most important to the person or what kind of person they want to be in the face of the situations they are experiencing followed by planning how we can help them move towards being that person, is something I tend to explore in my sessions with individuals. I draw on tools from various modalities and therapies while I use ACT, DBT, and Solution focused therapy as base. Intentional awareness (mindfulness) and guiding kindness (Self compassion) have been two key aspects of the work that tends to show up when connecting individuals to themselves in a safe and trauma informed manner. I look forward to being a part of your journey.
