Ben | Counsellor

Counselling Mount Maunganui - Tauranga

You're here because you're ready for something to shift – whether that's relief from anxiety or low mood, clarity about your direction, or reconnecting with your most authentic self Counselling isn't about me "fixing" you – it's about collaborating together to bring out your best self. In our sessions, you'll find a warm space where you actually be yourself and explore what truly matters. Sessions feel like down-to-earth conversations – compassionate yet honest – with clients often saying I "get it" and that I'm easy to talk to.

Together, we'll explore what keeps you stuck in anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and low mood. Instead of jumping to conclusions, I'll ask questions to help you process and reflect. Sometimes I'll gently challenge you, other times I’ll share tools or an encouraging word. We may even share a laugh. Clients typically leave feeling lighter, refreshed, and energised.

I hold a Master's in Counselling and tailor my approach to your unique goals, helping strengthen your confidence, communication skills, and emotional balance. Think of me as someone who will walk alongside you toward happiness at your own pace. If you're 18-45 and feel we might be a good fit – reach out – I'd love to hear your story. 



About me: Born and raised in The Mount, I enjoy a balanced and outdoors lifestyle, which influences my approach to wellbeing and counselling. I’ve been to dark places myself and am confident I can help you get to a better place, too. Outside the counselling room, I love surfing, exploring nature, travelling with my fiance, reading, and having a good laugh or two with family and friends. I genuinely enjoy helping people reconnect with who they really are and what they really want.
