Jana
Counselling Whangarei
I’m Jana, and I’d like to share a bit about myself. I was born and raised in Estonia and have also lived in Sweden before making New Zealand my home. My therapy style is solution focused CBT mixed with other styles I find useful in personal growth.
I offer in-person counselling for individuals and couples from a cozy boathouse studio in central Whangarei, also worldwide online counselling in English, Swedish and Estonian.
My areas of interest include couples therapy, migration and cultural issues, stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, communication difficulties and self-esteem concerns.
I believe that the relationship with oneself is at the core of all human experiences. I am dedicated to supporting you on your journey toward understanding and growth. I look forward to the opportunity to work together.
If you want to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me via the Send a message - button.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

I highly recommend Jana
I highly recommend Jana. She has helped me navigate through a lot of personal struggles these past few months. She’s very patient and kind. I especially like how she makes every session chill and relax, allowing you the time to process your thoughts. Another thing that I like is that there’s no pressure of having a set schedule of when you have to see her, so it’s all on your own terms.
