Female Therapists in Tauranga, BP

I help women who are stressed, anxious, and questioning what they want in life to get clear on their purpose, direction and next steps. They generally want and need help to transform their personal life - particularly in the area of health, wellbeing, and relationships. They may be overwhelmed with personal, family and professional commitments and may feel depleted, burnout, or experiencing physical pain. Their goals are often (but not limited to) prioritizing time and selfcare for themselves, working on self-esteem/confidence/worth so that they can feel more empowered, and have agency over their personal and social life.

As a clinical arts therapist (AThR) I offer adolescents and adults an alternative to talk therapy and counselling through creative expression. Arts therapists can offer a variety of approaches such as art, movement, drama, writing, poetry, and sandplay. I work mostly with art materials but we are not limited to this form of expression. Clinical arts therapists in New Zealand are professional members of the Australian New Zealand Asian Creative Arts Therapy Association and are approved to provide services for agencies like ACC, WINZ, Oranga Tamariki and I Am Hope.

Hi there - I am a 57 with 4 adult children - looking forward to grandchildren in the future. My background includes working as a Registered Nurse for 6 years, and then as an Independant Midwife up North for 10 years. I paused to raise/educate my children and retrained as a Counselor which I have enjoyed for the past 10 years. I work with children through to the elderly and can see you face to face, or via zoom. I work in a number of different modalities to suit your needs. I work with all ethnicities - have enjoyed Te Reo Level 2.

Do you need someone safe, empathetic and genuine to speak with? Someone who is not in your usual circle, so can offer a different outlook on problems? Someone who understands life is not easy and has many challenges along the way? I enjoy working with people who have either long term or short term challenges or goals, working towards a better understanding of themselves. Perhaps life has got you down, and you are not sure where to start in your journey of reclaiming life. That is when you may find a counsellor is someone to help you through these challenges - to support you, be honest with, and to help you reach your goals.

I have emotionally supported hundreds of children through difficult moments for many years. I have studied in the USA, UK and NZ and worked with the children of the Christchurch Earthquakes for several years. As a volunteer, I provided emotional first aid in conjunction with crisis responders and as an in-person Youthline counsellor. Recently, I was employed as a Child and Adolescent Counsellor serving 13 South Otago area primary and intermediate schools. Currently, I am counselling at Mount Maunganui Intermediate School two days a week and working in my own private practice.

Tēnā koe, I am a registered psychologist passionate about partnering with individuals, couples and families across the lifespan to enhance their wellbeing and to find sustainable solutions to a wide range of concerns. My practice is collaborative, empathetic, and evidence-based. I am also a trained mediator and am especially interested in supporting couples in conflict and families in transition (during and after separation). To this task, I bring a deep understanding of child development, family systems, parenting, and communication coaching. I have specialist training in child inclusive practices and high-conflict dynamics.

Through Counselling I can assist adults, couples and family members with problems they are currently encountering due to issues such as; life purpose, life changes, grief, loss, difficulties encountered, chronic and acute stress, work-related stress, mental and physical abuse, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. I can also assist with coming to terms with issues caused by events in the past such as abandonment, sexual abuse, physical and mental abuse, post traumatic stress, lack of self confidence, identity crisis, low self-esteem, withdrawal, attachment issues and fear of change. Let’s see if I can assist you. Dawn

I support you if you feel lost at sea without a clear idea of how to get through your current challenges. Our life experience includes resources and stressors. We can function with a fair degree of stress, however it doesn't take much to upset this balance leaving us feeling unprepared for what we are experiencing. I can help you explore your experience in a way that is safe for you to do so. I trust in your own inner knowing that given the space and time and a little guiding will support a growth in awareness. This leads to more choices being available for you to come into a relationship with life that works for you.
