Counselling · North Shore Auckland
You don’t have to
navigate this alone
A safe, confidential space for individuals and couples working through anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and the difficult in-betweens of life.
You might be here because
Something
isn’t right,
and you know it
Most people don’t reach out until they’ve been carrying something for a while. Whether it’s a relationship under strain, anxiety that won’t settle, or a loss you’re still making sense of — this is a space to start unpacking it, without judgement and at your own pace.
- Your relationship feels stuck — conversations keep circling without resolution
- Anxiety or stress has become your normal, and you’re not sure how to shift it
- You’ve lost someone or something important, and you’re not sure how to move forward
- Something feels off — but you can’t quite name what it is
- You want more from your life — more clarity, connection, or a deeper sense of purpose
How I can help
Two kinds of support,
one safe space
One-on-one
Individual Counselling
Space to explore what’s happening in your life — without judgement, and without pressure to have it all figured out before you arrive. We work at your pace, on the things that matter most to you.
For couples
Couples Counselling
A structured, evidence-based approach drawn from The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. Whether you’re in crisis or just drifting, the work is about helping you communicate more clearly and find a path forward — together.
What to expect
Getting started
is straightforward
Reach out
A brief free phone call to talk through what’s going on and see whether working together makes sense. No commitment — just a conversation.
First session
A 50-minute session to begin exploring what’s happening, what you’d like to change, and how we’ll work together. Relaxed, confidential, entirely at your pace.
Ongoing support
Regular sessions at a frequency that suits you. Most clients start weekly and adjust as things improve. No lock-in, no fixed programme length.
