I am a Solution Focused trained counsellor which means we will look at how your life is now, what changes you would like to make, what is holding you back from that and learning your strengths to help you to move forward. We live in busy and emotionally demanding times and my hope is to provide you with some space to focus on your needs away from the pressure of life and work. I welcome working with clients from all walks of life. We will work together to figure out how you would like your life to be, identify the roadblocks and look at ways for you to make positive changes in your life.

I am Mandy Paget; What I offer is being driven with a passion for walking beside my clients, for their growth and insight like I had received in my time of Therapy, working through Child Abuse, Sexual assault, and Mental and Physical abuse. Through my journey of rebuilding myself, I challenge my addiction to alcohol, my dangerous decision making, and my mental well-being. Now I like to think I am my unique self and am honest and, as some past clients have said, persistent. I recognise we are all different, and the strength I have is that I, too, have walked the path.

Do you find yourself lost in your thoughts? Are these thoughts constantly on your mind keeping you from living your life? Through life's obstacles and challenges, there is a story. You deserved to be heard for yourself or your relationship with your loved ones. Each journey with a client is unique. I am here to listen if you are experiencing anxiety, stress, anger or depression. When past traumas or present issues create road bumps in your life, I can work collaboratively to help you make sense of it all.

I am a fully-qualified registered counsellor based in Christchurch, Rolleston, and online. I have 10 years of full-time private practice experience. My counselling style is warm, interactive, exploratory, and methodical.

I provide a safe, empathic, and collaborative space in which I offer psychological assessment and treatment to children, teenagers and adults. Treatment planning and interventions are designed with the client and outcomes are monitored. I have had the privilege to work with a range of people, to support and empower them to reach the goals they desire. I have worked with low moods, depression, anxiety, self-harm, loss and grief, stress, workplace issues, parenting issues, relationship issues and anger problems.

Everything I do in a session comes back to the premise of "unconditional positive regard" no matter what your struggles are and what you have done you are worthy of therapy and you can make changes. I really like to focus on your values and what are some simple changes you can make day to day to live a life that is value-driven. I work with clients that have troubles around motivation, mood worries, not being able to let things go, past trauma, trouble with parenting, postnatal and antenatal depression and anxiety and adjusting to parenthood. I also offer support in managing your day to day better, including work and finances.

Kia ora, my name is Toni (ko Toni toku ingoa). I have been a counsellor for the past 10 years and early in my journey discovered my philosophy of counselling - "to be seen". What does that mean? For you to be seen in the room, authentically as you are, in a space free of judgment and assumption, for me to be seen in the room as I am and for that which is not yet known to be seen. I have been working with individuals who have grown up in families affected by addiction, those who are currently supporting a loved one in addiction and I volunteer for FDS Aotearoa. In the past 18 months I have worked as an ACC counsellor.

I am a family therapist and psychologist specialising in child and adolescent issues. I have worked in this area for more than 20 years. I have specific skills in eating disorders, anxiety and depression, attachment and family relationships.

My unique expertise lies in helping clients live their preferred lives despite the obstacles and challenges they face. The energy of my work is focused on the description of clients aspirations, not an understanding of the clients problem. The focus of our session is directed toward what you want to achieve as opposed to what you want to leave behind. This is why it is highly valuable among individuals (adults, adolescents) couples, and groups
