Bay of Plenty

Kia ora! My name is Carien (kind of pronounced as "Kha-rene"). I offer a compassionate, holistic approach combining 30 years of experience in psychology, education, guidance and counselling. I use an integrative scientific approach to find a unique and individual pathway for each client.

Are you feeling distress from a current or past relationship ? If you are then look no further. I am an experienced Counsellor and Coach. I offer packages of Counselling and Coaching sessions in person and online via zoom. I can help you by providing a healing trusting space to work through your distress and then to find more empowered communication styles to build better relationships and a better future.

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.
