Online Counselling for Canterbury
Do you ever feel out of place in your world? That there's something that's not quite right? That there must be more to life than what you're experiencing right now? Yes...? OK... Have you ever considered that you might be trying to adjust to a world that's fundamentally flawed? And that you're not broken? I've seen so many people struggle unnecessarily from trying to fit into a mould that doesn't make sense. With that comes anxiety, self-doubt, wobbly self-esteem. If that's you, you don't have to suffer alone. Together we'll discover what your unique place in the world is, and how to inhabit it unapologetically.

In-person sessions are available in Lincoln, or online sessions are available for clients throughout New Zealand.
What would it look like if you felt more at ease, more connected, and more confident in yourself?
Right now, you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by life’s challenges. Perhaps you’re struggling with low self-worth, relationship difficulties, or noticing the same unhelpful patterns repeating themselves. Maybe you feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of the next step forward.
You might even feel a little “different” from those around you—as though you don’t quite fit the boxes the world tries to place you in. Perhaps you’ve been told you’re too much, not enough, or simply misunderstood.

Life can be challenging, and at times we all need someone to walk alongside us. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences freely. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and together we can work towards understanding what feels difficult, uncovering patterns that no longer serve you, and finding new ways to move forward.
I work from a trauma-informed and integrative perspective. My approach is psychodynamic, allowing flexibility, with sessions tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.

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.

Hello, I work online, my diary is flexible to meet your needs (NZ time zone).
Hello I'm Grace. I've always been fascinated by what makes people resilient in the face of adversity. My passion is people feeling fully felt and revealing their innate ability to overcome subconscious sabotaging patterns that keep them stuck. Are you struggling with pain and fatigue and is this leading to overwhelm or despair? The vicious cycle of sleep loss and brain fog can make you feel like you're drowning. If you want to feel more choice and control in your life and reclaim your sense of passion and purpose then please know that it is possible to develop the resilience to manage your symptoms. I speak from experience.

I understand that some people feel rather nervous about coming to counselling. The thought of being vulnerable as you share personal strories and struggles with a stranger can feel daunting. Change is uncomfortable, but if you are reading this I imagine you are wanting something to change. You are stronger than you know. As a trained professional I work with all demographics, where no story is too big or too small. I promise to be non-judgemental, empathetic, caring, and to work safely. In our journey together you will always have autonomy as we assess and reassess the goals you are wanting to achieve.

Online Counsellors
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
