I currently have space for new clients in September/October. Struggling to cope with life or in crisis? Give me a call or text and we can have a chat about how I can help. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds. I use a combination of approaches and skill building strategies to assist in creating change. If you are new to counselling check out my blog on "Getting the most out of therapy" at www.ngakautherapy.com. I have experience in working with young people and all age ranges, neurodiversity and trauma. Take advantage of $20 discount on the first session.
I provide a professional, supportive and practical therapeutic service. My aim is to support you to develop new skills and explore how to deal with "curves in the road called "life". On offer is a range of services including: one on one counselling and couples therapy. I strive to provide a comfortable space for exploring what is bought to each session.
I check my emails on a regular basis, so expect a quick response, usually the same day. I give a discount on the first session, so you can get to know me and see if we are a fit. Feel free to ring for a 15 minute chat to see if I might be a match for you. If Im not the right fit, I may be able to recommend someone who is!
