As a Manawatu counsellor, I support people through life events that have caused emotional, physical, psychological/spiritual distress or trauma.
Life events might involve a:
- Relationship break up or perhaps you want a relationship
- Loss of a job, or wanting to grow in confidence to apply for a job
- Loss of a loved one or a pet
- Stress at work
- Unexpected pregnancy
- Traumatic birth experience
I help by supporting people in different stages of their life, not just for pregnancy, birth and parenthood. My role is to support you to find the key to unlock your full potential. Often what people believe about themselves can contribute to limiting beliefs, about who they are and who they want to be. We will work together to explore and gain insight into belief structures to then unlock a different perspective on your situation.
Start your unique journey with Unique Beginnings
Research shows that 70-80% of successful therapy is about the therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and the person seeking support, rather than the approach itself.
As a counsellor, I meet you where you stand - no matter where you are in your experience of distress or trauma.
There is no rush to move fast, the pace of our meetings is at a flow that meets your needs.
I do not have a magic wand, but I do have an open heart to create an empathetic and genuine connection with others.
This connection is based on trust and understanding so we can build a relationship that is therapeutic for you. The therapeutic relationship is a space that enables healing to begin.
Culturally-diverse counselling services
I have found that a range of different therapy models supports the creation of a culturally diverse counselling space. Cultural competence ensures that you are seen through your own eyes, with consideration of the context of your lived experience. This means that together we will consider:
- mind,
- body,
- spiritual connections
- with considerations to intergenerational relationships,
- past, present, future you,
- through the guidance of Māori wellness model: Te Whare Tapa Whā
I utilise a range of therapy models to tailor my approach to respect diversity and your own unique needs. These tools consist of Interactive Draw Therapy, Somatic Therapy (body work), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative.
