Online Counselling for Canterbury

1st Feb 23, space availabIe! I enjoy working with people from a diverse set of backgrounds and ages. I believe that therapy can bring meaningful change for those I work with. You may be wondering if therapy is the right approach for you, and not know where to start or what to say. That is completely normal! My aim is to create a safe space where we can explore what brings you to therapy. I provide a personalised flexible approach to help people get the most out of sessions, and offer practical tools that can be used in everyda life. I offer sessions outside business hours for those who need flexibility. Christchurch based or online.

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 currently have space for new clients in January/Feburary. In these tricky times, getting support can be a crucial step in addressing life's stumbling blocks. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I use a combination of approaches and have a strong interest in Compassion Based therapy. My practice uses research based techniques to assist you in getting the most out of therapy. If you are new to counselling check out my blog on "Getting the most out of therapy" at www.ngakautherapy.com.

With training and qualifications in Counselling, Psychology, and NLP, I will empower you to manage and overcome grief, trauma, anxiety, phobias, and low moods; so that you will restore and enjoy confidence, self-esteem, health, well-being, and better relationships.

I have a particular interest in anxiety, especially social anxiety. Other areas of interest include: grief, trauma, relationship issues, career aspirations/transitions, anxiety disorders (in general) and men's mental health. I feel at times men get left "behind" in the health system and do not utilise services as well as they could so I'm keen to promote support around men's mental health and have done academic research in this area.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

If you are challenged by life, whether this makes you frightened, anxious, depressed or angry and are willing to talk openly about this, then I am happy to listen. Then I will help you find your own path forward with understanding of the past, a vision of your future, and practical ways to achieve this in day by day practices or skills. NOTE: Cost of sessions inclusive of GST are $230 for an INDIVIDUAL. $345 for initial COUPLES assessment. ALSO: I do NOT do assessments to provide people with a diagnosis, such as ADHD, so they can obtain medication.
