Hayley
Counselling Tauranga
I am a qualified counsellor committed to supporting people through life’s challenges and helping them move toward meaningful, positive change. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore and process difficult emotions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need someone to talk to, I’m here to listen and support you.
My approach is tailored to each individual, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Your experiences are unique, and I take the time to understand what they mean to you. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you.

I work from a relational and strengths-based approach, one that values genuine connection, trust, and the recognition of the inner resources you already possess. I believe healing and growth occur through authentic relationships, and that the capacity for change exists within each person.
I understand that reaching out for support can take a great deal of courage. If you’re considering counselling, I invite you to get in touch. Together, we can work in a way that feels right for you, guided by your goals, grounded in respect for your story, and focused on creating a safe, supportive space for healing and growth.

About me
I have been married for 27 years & have an incredible family of daughters & two grandsons who I adore immensely. We spent many years raising our girls in London. Living abroad was an experience of a lifetime; being able to take in the cultures & history of Europe with my family has impacted my life significantly.
My background is in Early Childhood Education & I worked as a teacher aide for a few years before following my dream of completing a counselling degree. Having a rich experience working with young people at a high school & then at Bethlehem Birthing Centre gave me a great passion for supporting young people & maternal mental health.
Before going into Private Practice I worked as a guidance counsellor at Pāpāmoa College, journeying alongside students and their whānau through the challenges they faced.
I enjoy spending time with people in my world who uplift me. I thrive being near the ocean or out in nature & have a passion for documentaries & movies based on true stories. Most of the time, enjoy doing this while eating something delicious!
