Counselling Palmerston North

Counselling is a way of gaining a greater understanding of how you are affected by issues relating to your circumstances. Through counselling you can explore your options and be supported to  make your own choices. 

I offer a safe confidential, non - judgemental environment that enables you to explore your current situation with a view to considering what changes you might like to make to move in a direction determined by you.

About me

I was born in England and emigrated with my family from the UK in 2005. I live and work in Palmerston North. I enjoy the sights of the natural world of which New Zealand has in abundance. I take the opportunity to enjoy the beauty around me from leisurely walks along the river or strolling along local beaches, to travelling a bit further afield. 

I have been a Registered Nurse for over 30 years working in the U.K. and New Zealand within both primary and secondary settings. 

I have held a Certificate in Counselling Skills for 20 years and have incorporated this learning into my nursing practice. My intention has always been to continue on this counselling pathway. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to complete the Graduate Diploma in Counselling Practice in 2015. This enabled me, as a qualified counsellor, to gain provisional membership with New Zealand Association of Counsellors. 

Within the services I provide, I am committed to the clients I work with, providing a calm environment in a quiet residential area.
