Hi, I’m Tamsin! I offer various therapy and coaching modalities geared towards emotional/psychological wellbeing, relationships, parenting and change. I work with both adults and teenagers, using a combination of mindfulness ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT, Solutions Focused Therapy, EP, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Positive Psychology, Attachment Theory & Gottman Couples Therapy.
My aim is to combine the best of research-based methods with a compassionate and non-judgemental, whole-person, attitude.

I am a member of NZAC and focus on offering skills for regulating emotions and working towards healing/thriving. I have been instrumental in the mindfulness modalities for therapy and emotional regulation across Australasia since the mid 2000s. Improving relationship (even that which you have with yourself) is the path to thriving. My motto is: the past informed the present, but the NOW creates the future. There is no time like now to step up and grow your relationship wellbeing.

Kia Ora, hello and welcome.
I aim to provide a warm, authentic, person- centred, non- judgemental, confidential, welcoming space where you can freely share about whatever is happening for you in your life.
Christchurch

I have a special interest and experience with cultural and neuro-diversity, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I tailor my therapeutic approach according to each client's individual needs and wants. Although I mainly draw from person-centered and solution-focused therapy modalities, I often integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Supporting clients to change unhelpful patterns, and find connection and meaning in their life are key aspects of my counselling.

Kia ora, I’m Mari. I offer a gentle, trauma-informed, body-centered approach to experiential therapy rooted in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, and further supported by Internal Family Systems (IFS).
This way of working can be especially supportive for those navigating trauma, grief, anger, confusion, and fear, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, longing to feel more at home in themselves, or seeking greater connection, presence, and ease in their lives.

Are you stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, and unsure how to change them?
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating relationship challenges, grief, or loss—perhaps even questioning if you have a narcissistic dynamic in your life. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard and safe. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening, help you regulate emotions, understand your needs, and reconnect with yourself—so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and trust.

Life can be complex, especially when you’re carrying anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or moving through a season of change. I support people facing these experiences by offering a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. Our sessions are shaped around your experiences, strengths, and what feels most important to you.
A free 30-minute meet-and-greet is available so you can get a feel for our sessions and see whether working together feels like the right fit for you.

Are you ready to reclaim your relationship with food and your body?
Do you feel overwhelmed by guilt and a lack of control around food? Are you exhausted from hating your body and obsessing over weight, letting these struggles take over your life?
Dunedin

In my counselling work, I prioritise you as the expert in your own life and learn about your current position in what you’re experiencing. In time, we can work together to build pathways toward a life that is empowering to you, your family, and your community. Using methods such as externalising problems, re-authoring your stories, and linking with your community are some of the ways we can do this together
