Trish

Counsellor

Hi my name is Trish and I am an experienced and qualified counsellor, life coach and mentor.  I am a mother of two; have a labradoodle who is in training to be a therapy dog, and I live in a beachside community.  I love walks in nature, crafts, music, travelling and meeting new people.

I am a full member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors having worked in various areas of practice for over ten years.

I am truly passionate about the work I do and the journeys I get to embark on with my clients.  As I work with clients they are invited to reimagine and realise a different future for themselves - one that is filled with potential, possibilities and a life lived to the full.  I use a number of therapeutic approaches to help achieve the changes they desire.

As a trained professional I adhere to the NZAC Code of Ethics, which includes confidentiality within the parameters of safety and ethical practice.  I seek to provide a safe space where people are free to discuss their challenges in a non-judgmental, respectful and compassionate environment.   

I provide counselling for people aged 15 upwards, including individuals, families, and adolescents.  I work with people who are recovering from trauma, childhood emotional neglect, having relationship issues, are looking for life development or change, are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, work and life stresses, and maternal mental health.  I welcome people from a diverse range of backgrounds, values, beliefs and cultures. 

Feel free to contact me for a brief discovery call where we discover if we are the best fit for each other.
