Nau mai, haere mai. Kia ora and welcome. My name is Nat (she/they), and I am an experienced counsellor and wellbeing coach. I work individually with children, adolescents, and adults. I offer both online and in-person counselling sessions for ages 10+. My in-person sessions take place in a comfortable and quiet space in the heart of Parnell.

I am passionate about helping people through their change and growth process. With over 10 years experience as a counsellor, I am able to offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore any challenges you face. I provide both short and long-term therapy with an approach that is warm and respectful; that gives you the space to explore thoughts and feelings to gain greater clarity and insight; that works alongside you to find new ways of coping; and supports you to identify goals, strengths and values. Together we can work to find solutions so you can live a rich and meaningful life.

I am curious to hear about what has brought you to this search for a therapist. Whether it be depression, anxiety, self-identity, self-esteem, or relationship issues – I believe that what can be found in our innermost being is worth all our courageous attention and love. Even the darkest emotions related to sorrow, pain, and suffering – can offer a gift of growth – once felt, explored, grieved, and understood better. I have worked with persons from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds, supporting people with allergies, chronic illness/pain, disability, depression, anxiety, relational/childhood trauma in hospital/clinic settings.

My mission is to inspire people to embrace life with all its contradictions and equip them with the tools necessary to achieve success and build better relationships. I am passionate about helping people see situations as opportunities to grow and evolve, in order to experience all the good things life has to offer. I work alongside individuals to bring focus and clarification in identifying what steps to take in the process of transformation. My role is to support people to solve lifelong issues, achieve their goals, continue to develop their vision, increase life satisfaction, and gain success & happiness.

Psychotherapy is a deeply personal journey. This journey is unique to each individual, where the journey may begin with seeking purpose in the person’s life or seeking to make meaning of life and its mysteries. It may involve seeking relief from emotional pain and suffering or unbearable feelings. It might also consist of confronting shadows from your past or healing from a traumatic past event. I see my work as a psychotherapist as accompanying you on your journey together, where I hope to support you in finding growth, balance, and a sense of harmony and peace. In addition, I offer supervision, and K9-assisted therapy.

Working at your pace I provide a safe, confidential, and open-hearted place to speak freely and be heard. I welcome working with adults from all cultures, sexuality, gender orientation, and religious beliefs. I see my role as someone who works alongside you to help you address troubling or puzzling issues that affect your day-to-day life and the way you cope. This includes working together on concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, loss, identity, and life transitions.

As an Assistant Managing Ambassador for international online transgender support groups with 45 000 plus members, I'm also specialised in counselling for transgender and gender-diverse communities to assist with making their transition smooth as possible.

I help them to accept their true identity and place in the community and cope with the changes connected with real-life transitioning and fulfilment of their desires to live a happy and stress-free life.

I have always had a passion and desire to help people become the best versions of themselves. I enjoy being the listening ear and the calm place people can come to and just be and share their struggles, but not only that, also celebrate their victories and I count this as a privilege. I have a passion for trauma work, as well as a wide range of other areas including but not limited to working with anxiety, depression, stress and time management, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence issues.

As a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years experience, I work hard with my clients to understand and decode the language of emotions.

I'm Amanda, an integrative counsellor and coach, who supports individuals online and over the phone. My approach blends the wisdom of various psychotherapeutic and coaching methodologies to better understand and tailor our sessions to what it is that's needed from our initial call, and what our best route is to help navigate the challenges at hand. This could be for clarity in conflicting areas of life, exploring emotional regulation methods or processing thoughts out-loud, in a safe empathic space and looking at the bigger picture of what insights or solutions may arise.
