Codependency - Counselling Rangiora

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.

Life can be complex, especially when you’re carrying anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or moving through a season of change. I support people facing these experiences by offering a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. Our sessions are shaped around your experiences, strengths, and what feels most important to you. A free 30-minute meet-and-greet is available so you can get a feel for our sessions and see whether working together feels like the right fit for you.

Are you stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, and unsure how to change them? You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating relationship challenges, grief, or loss—perhaps even questioning if you have a narcissistic dynamic in your life. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard and safe. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening, help you regulate emotions, understand your needs, and reconnect with yourself—so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and trust.

Kia ora, I’m Mari. I offer a gentle, trauma-informed, body-centered approach to experiential therapy rooted in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, and further supported by Internal Family Systems (IFS). This way of working can be especially supportive for those navigating trauma, grief, anger, confusion, and fear, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, longing to feel more at home in themselves, or seeking greater connection, presence, and ease in their lives.

Are you ready to reclaim your relationship with food and your body? Do you feel overwhelmed by guilt and a lack of control around food? Are you exhausted from hating your body and obsessing over weight, letting these struggles take over your life?

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.
