Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Kia Ora and welcome,
Take the first step toward healing—counselling is your bridge to a brighter self.

It’s okay to be, and sometimes feel, a little messy. Life is messy and I know this isn’t easy!
But you don’t have to do it alone, so I am so glad you are exploring options to support yourself.
You deserve this!

If you are struggling and need someone to talk too, you are in the right space.
I work with individuals, teens and parents/families as well as ethnic minorities.

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.

Hi there, I’m Deanna and I have a real passion for helping people through the many challenges we face as humans in a way that best works for each individual. I work with adults, teens, children and their parents, supporting clients through meaningful change towards living a more satisfying and happier life.

You may want to talk to someone to sort things out. You can live a better life. And you don't have to take on everything alone.

Are you finding it hard to manage big emotions? Have recent changes to your life made things really stressful and you need a space to chat?

Congratulations on taking the first important step to receiving help - reaching out for support. Let's chat.

Kia ora, welcome! I am a qualified counsellor who offers a warm and comforting space where diversity is respected and encouraged. Here clients can express, discover, and explore their authentic thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgement. From here we can begin to gently challenge unhelpful beliefs and focus on self-empowerment, self-compassion, self-worth, and self love, leading to a more fulfilling and happy life.

I work with older teenagers online but not those under 15 years of age.
