Worrying too much - Counselling NZ

Hi, I'm Catherine, counsellor and career coach in Wellington. In my practice I support people to positively address challenges in their lives, including their career, to enable them to live with an empowered attitude and find the joy and fulfillment they are striving for.

I provide professional counselling for adults, adolescents and parents. I am passionate about well-being and people being able to be the best version of themselves.

I teach Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) skills, which include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relaxation techniques, Mindfulness practices, Exposure Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) skills. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Psychology, and a Master's Degree in Psychology.

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.

I'm a compassionate and professional counsellor with 25 years of experience of helping people. I have successfully treated people with issues that range from minor to chronic problems, such as anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, panic attacks, PTSD, complex trauma, relationship issues, low self esteem, sleep difficulties, stress and parenting issues. I work fluently in English and also in German.

My passion is supporting people to achieve, learn, and grow, by using mentoring, education, modelling, guidance, and advocacy. In working with clients both individually and in groups, my aim is to provide a safe and nurturing environment which fosters the development of emotional resilience, inner authority, and autonomy, and supports individual learning styles and preferences in addition to knowledge and skills.
