I am an experienced and qualified counsellor and family mediator. I have worked in counselling and related fields since 1982. I started my own counselling practice in 2005 and have had over 9000 face to face counselling hours and a broad range of issues from depression, anxiety, grief, life's challenges to severe trauma. I am originally from America and I have been in New Zealand for 23 years. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities including Maori, Pacifika, European and Asian.
My professional qualifications include:
Master of Counselling,
Bachelor of Science in Psychology
Diploma of Social Sciences.
I regularly attend training workshops and seminars for ongoing professional development. I am also a full member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) and have been since 2005.
As a counsellor I provide a confidential online counselling service via Skype, FaceTime or Zoom. I have an objective, professional and non-judgemental perspective. I can give you skills to cope with problems more effectively. This will help build emotional strength, address problems and improve your quality of life.
$100

This is a 20% reduction in my former face-to-face rate as the overhead costs are lower for working online.
