Counselling Bay of Plenty - Therapy Bay of Plenty

I am a holistic counsellor/therapist with over 24 years experience. I take time to find out what is really going on for you and support you to find your way forward. We all deserve to live happier lives, free of pain and trauma.

Tired of living in your head? I work with overthinkers, people pleasers, and ADHDers who look fine on the outside but feel quietly exhausted on the inside. Maybe you've spent years managing everyone else’s emotions while your own needs got buried. Together, we'll work toward your most authentic self – the one who feels grounded in their emotions, secure in their relationships, and confident in themselves.

Hi, my name is Yvette.

Making the first contact to talk with someone can often be a daunting and overwhelming experience.
I can assure you that once you take that step you will feel a sense of relief, vulnerability, but empowered too.
