Depression counselling Dunedin

I have been in practice for more than 20 years and specialise in providing a wide range of effective therapeutic techniques for individuals, couples and families.
I am passionate about the work I do and I am committed in providing beneficial therapy for clients affected by mental health related issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, phobia. trauma and grief.
I utilise a range of modalities that include Neuroscience evidence based techniques like BWRT, Brief Solution focused therapy, CBT and Mindfulness.

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

I offer in-person counselling for individuals and couples from a cozy boathouse studio in central Whangarei, also worldwide online counselling in English, Swedish and Estonian. My therapy style is solution focused CBT mixed with other styles I find useful in personal growth.

My areas of interest include couples therapy, migration and cultural issues, stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, communication difficulties and self-esteem concerns.

In life we can all have times that are more challenging and painful than others and counselling can provide a safe space to work through those seasons.

I am a Counsellor and Couples Therapist who is committed to providing that safe and confidential environment where people can feel heard and validated while working through their pain and struggles without judgement.

Welcome to my page, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted inside. Grief, anxiety, trauma, or disconnection may be weighing you down. My clients often long for a space where they don’t have to pretend, where they can simply be themselves and feel fully accepted.

I can help you by providing a healing trusting space to work through your distress and then to find more empowered communication styles to build better relationships and a better future.

A key focus and passion is trauma recovery for big T and little t trauma. It may be very recent or from our past. Such trauma as childhood sexual abuse, abandonment, neglect, earthquakes, violence, bullying, car accidents, and warfare.

I offer tailored counseling services for individuals, couples, and groups.  My dedicated practice is committed to providing accessible and affordable solutions to help you overcome life's obstacles.

I welcome clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsettled, often during a time of change in their life. This might include becoming a parent, grief, getting older, or other major life transitions.
