Depression counselling Wellington

Overwhelmed by anxiety or depression? Frustrated with those around you? Dissatisfied with where your life and relationships are at?

I work with individuals, couples, children and young people, and can offer you a safe and confidential space to help you explore solutions that are right for you and your particular situation.

Clients come to see me with various difficulties in their lives like depression, loss, anxiety, bereavement, sexual abuse, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Kia ora and hello! I’m a registered counsellor with experience in addressing all kinds of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger management, stress and navigating life transitions.

Hi, I'm Catherine, counsellor and career coach in Wellington. In my practice I support people to positively address challenges in their lives, including their career, to enable them to live with an empowered attitude and find the joy and fulfillment they are striving for.

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.

My experience includes working with couples and relationships, anxiety, trauma, low mood and depression. I also work extensively with older clients (over 60s) and those who have experienced negative father issues.

Are you struggling with feelings of despondency, depression, anxiety and want things to change but don't know how?
I offer a non judgemental and welcoming space to unpack and explore the experiences and contributing factors to ones current state of emotional and mental distress. Providing and teaching practical and manageable tools and techniques to help improve your emotional and mental well-being.

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 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.

I offer in person counselling for individuals and couples in my Whangarei central office, also worldwide online counselling in English, Swedish and Estonian.

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