Skilled and professional therapist working in Wellington CBD and Kapiti
A Warm Welcome to Wellington Counselling and Therapy.
When you are at a turning point in your life, talking to the right person can really make a difference. Counsellors have an empathic ear, trained to listen and understand. Just having the experience of being listened to and understood can alleviate some of your distress, which is the first level of talking therapy.
Going further, therapy provides a unique space to open up your thinking about your life and relationships, a process that is transformative and enriching.
During and after therapy you can expect to have:
- Improved relationships
- More rewarding experience of parenting
- A sense of aliveness and happiness day to day
- Inner peace
- Reduced self criticism
- Assertiveness
- More satisfying friendships
- Harmony in your family life.
I use a modality of counselling called Hakomi. It is a mindfulness based body-centred approach. Because we use mindfulness - observing how the body and mind are responding in the present moment - the work accesses important core beliefs and attitudes quickly. Mindfulness is also a skill that you can use to reduce stress in your life that can greatly alleviate the pain of what you may be going through.
Counselling is helpful in the face of a variety of life's challenges such as:
- anxiety
- relationship issues
- stress
- depression
- loss, grief and bereavement
- adjustments and transitions
- abuse and trauma recovery
- self-esteem
- personal awareness and growth
- eating disorders
- health concerns
- work related issues
- addictions
Making Sense Together
Therapy is the process of helping you increase self awareness and bring about change at a deep level. How we relate in the therapy gives insights to other areas of your life. The work is alive and present although you may make links back to your earliest relationships and how they colour your world today.
Great care is taken to create the safety necessary to allow you to become curious about, explore and make sense of old patterns and behaviours allowing you to renegotiate decisions made long ago.
In an empathic, accepting and mindful environment, change, growth and a sense of well-being can be facilitated allowing you to realise your full potential and regain your sense of aliveness.
I offer both short and long term work in a confidential and safe setting. I work with individuals only. I have experience with parents, young people and older women. I am experienced with working with traumatised people and this is my particular talent. I adhere to the NZAP Code of Ethics and value ethical and professional practice highly.
I see clients in Kapiti and in Central Wellington, my fee is $90 per session with a limited number of lower cost appointments available for low income earners.
Help is available, call today.
