Tena Koutou, nau mai, haere mai. Ko Anihera Tahu-Hepworth ahau. Hello, welcome, I’m Anihera.

Sometimes we all need the space to take time out to reflect on what's going on with us; or to talk to someone outside our immediate family and friends, a trained and experienced professional, who can assist us to think and feel deeper into our life, work and relationships. As we do this we begin to feel more human, more in balance and more able to warm up to our own spontaneity, vitality and creativity in response to what is required- be it coming to some resolutions, developing or strengthening aspects of ourselves, moving forward, or 'leaning into' our lives in a more dynamic or committed way. Therapy assists.

My ideal Clients that I work with look for an alternative approach to their issues or are new to their healing journey. Drawing from a blend of modalities from traditional talk therapy, somatics and Quantum healing, we dive into the root cause of what is going on in this life - and if appropriate the previous life, so we can uncover your shadows, collaborate with your triggers, alleviate your wounding and empower you to step into your authenticity. I offer the options of Holistic Counselling, Coaching, Mentorship & Healing sessions to suit your needs and goals. If you are looking for a no 'fluff' holistic therapist - I am for you.
