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 counsellor who values and respects each person's unique experiences and perspectives. My approach focuses on creating a safe, empathetic space where clients can freely explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering growth, healing, and meaningful change.

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.

Did you know, most counselling clients only need 4-6 sessions to get through what can seem like insurmountable problems. Counselling really just connects the dots, and helps you understand why you and your body are feeling out of sorts. Change happens quickly when you realise you are having a normal reaction to the circumstances that surround you, or that have surrounded you in the past. Let me help you make your problems a thing of the past, in a safe, confidentially, and often fun environment!

I have a special interest and experience with cultural and neuro-diversity, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I tailor my therapeutic approach according to each client's individual needs and wants. Although I mainly draw from person-centered and solution-focused therapy modalities, I often integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Supporting clients to change unhelpful patterns, and find connection and meaning in their life are key aspects of my counselling.

I understand that seeking counselling can be a big step. I provide a supportive and confidential space where you can explore your concerns and work towards positive change. As a registered counsellor, I can help with individual counselling for adults (18+) who are seeking support, clarity, and meaningful personal growth. My role is to provide a calm, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s happening in your life and move towards the changes you want to make.

I am a compassionate and experienced Licensed Counsellor (NZAC) and qualified Psychologist trained in Brazil, with over 30 years of diverse experience supporting adults through emotional challenges, life transitions and mental health concerns. As a bilingual practitioner (Portuguese–English), I provide trauma-informed, person-centred, Walk and Talk Therapy to promote wellbeing, balance and self-awareness. I offer support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, homesickness, relationship issues and cross-cultural experience

Life can bring its share of challenges, whether they feel overwhelming or are simply moments when you need someone to talk with. I am able to provide a safe, supportive space where we can work together to navigate what’s on your mind.

My experience includes working with people from their teens, through to later life stages, supporting with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, bullying, and identity work.

Tired of living in your head? I work with overthinkers, people pleasers, and ADHDers who look fine on the outside but feel quietly exhausted on the inside. Maybe you've spent years managing everyone else’s emotions while your own needs got buried. Together, we'll work toward your most authentic self – the one who feels grounded in their emotions, secure in their relationships, and confident in themselves.

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. People who are looking for a safe and supportive space where they can talk openly, feel listened to, and make sense of what they are going through. Our goals may include feeling more confident, regaining a sense of control, and identify a preferred understanding of your experiences.

You're welcome for individual and couples counselling.
I am committed to providing a safe and understanding environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Let’s work together towards your well-being.

I offer face to face counselling as well as online. I provide a calm, safe space for people to work through issues that are causing them difficulties.

I believe that sometimes we soar and other times we struggle, my aim is to work with whatever you bring into the room and I will do the best I can to help you move forward in a happier, healthier way.

I offer a relaxed, safe and non-judgemental atmosphere where you can allow yourself to explore the challenges you face and find acceptance with the past and things that cant be changed. I will walk with you through your struggles and assist you in finding a sense of understanding and peace.

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.

I’m an Existential therapist, and I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy. I like supporting people in activating their connection to themselves and accompanying them through challenging life situations. Additionally, I am drawn to Eastern Philosophy, mindfulness, and interconnectedness.
