Online coaching & counselling
My name is John, I have been working as a coach, counsellor, mediator and group facilitator for over 20 years in New Zealand and abroad.
I help people individually, and as couples, families and groups to resolve issues, stress and conflict in their relationships and lives. Sometimes the problems are internal, sometimes interpersonal, and sometimes external.
My work has been with people coming for private sessions, and in business, public and not-for-profit workplaces.
Being present
Being present and listening deeply helps me understand of your needs quickly and clearly (individual, couples, groups) without getting side-tracked in the details.
Then I help you understand yourself more clearly, and deal with your challenges, unhelpful patterns, behaviour and emotions, and find your own next steps forward.
You become more resilient to challenges as they come, more helpful to others around you and become a stronger role model to your families, partners and children, social and workplace friends and colleagues.
Therapeutic and practical approaches
I use strength-based, therapeutic and practical approaches, which help people build understanding of responsibility, ownership and the courage to be honest.
Feeling positive, finding hope and enjoyment while dealing with the challenges are key components of the sessions and work together. People learning how to help themselves is an important component through practices of mindfulness, positive auto-suggestion and self-hypnosis.
For people wanting help to resolve relationship issues, (couples of other relationships), I use a simple approach which is very successful. The starting place is for people involved to commit to resolving the issues and to contribute to agreed ways forward. Once this is clear, the options can be discussed and next steps defined.
Would you like to know more or make an appointment? Feel free to contact me.

Specialisations
Helping people and groups resolve issues, stress and conflict in their relationships and lives:
- Personal relationships.
- Communication breakdowns.
- Career and workplace performance.
- Professional development.
- EAP services.
- Men dealing with issues including anger and violence, relationship troubles and break-ups, sex and sexuality, family and performance both in and outside of the workplace.
Unfortunately, men have a greater tendency to NOT recognise let alone do something about their problems, issues and shortcomings.
So they’re less likely to get help when they need it - whether its practical and physical (often resulting in warning signals regarding physical health being ignored), emotional (generally showing up as negative emotional states that induce anxiety, stress and depression) or intellectual (lacking understanding but being unwilling to expose that to others and ask).
