Hypnotherapy Hibiscus Coast

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.

Are you feeling distressed, anxious, overwhelmed or lost? I support adults to ease emotional suffering and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and steadiness. Drawing on Counselling, Psychology and NLP, I help with anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma and low mood. My approach is warm, respectful and non-judgmental, welcoming cultural, spiritual, gender, sexual and neurodiverse identities.

Kia ora, I'm Rachel.
I’m a therapist and coach based in Wellington, Aotearoa NZ.

I use a broad range of modalities—including bioenergetic psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, to support people to enjoy more success, happiness and life energy.

My work is practical, grounded and effective. The most common thing I hear my clients say is: "you really listen to me."

I work with people who feel trapped in their own minds—stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, rumination, and self-doubt. Using a blend of somatic hypnotherapy, NLP, and mindset work, I help clients gently rewire subconscious patterns so calm, clarity, and confidence become more natural and sustainable. Sessions are available in person in Porirua or online. Complimentary consultations available.

My name is Joseph. I'm a counsellor, coach and hypnotherapist. You're welcome for individual counselling & coaching, hypnotherapy, couples counselling and family therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist with 29 years of experience, originally from South Africa and practicing as a clinical psychologist in New Zealand for the past six years.

My interests include:
* Problems with Mood -- Major Depression, Dysthymia, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
* Problems with Anxiety -- Panic Disorder, GAD, OCD, PTSD, etc.
* Bereavement
* Stress
* Relationship Challenges
* Intimacy issues, especially women's challenges (e.g., menopause, infertility, etc)

I offer confidential empathetic opportunities for people to explain their difficulties or circumstances and then guide them to clarify the issues and explore practical strategies and alternatives for working through these challenges and moving towards satisfactory resolutions.
