Kia ora, hola, hello. I’m Emma from Driftwood Therapy. Counselling with me may be a simple chat to help you think, or a deep dive into the ways your past experiences have shaped you.
All genders, cultures, neurotypes, sexualities, ages and abilities are welcome. I will do everything in my power to keep you safe and meet you where you are at.
Any issues you bring to our sessions are welcome. Some of my particular interests or relevant life experience include relationships and attachment, migration and racism, workplace challenges, environmental grief, and long covid.
I hold a Bachelor of Counselling, and have trained in Internal Family Systems (working with the beliefs and potential of different parts of your self), trauma-informed approaches, and interpersonal neurobiology (understanding how our nervous systems work and interrelate). Curiosity, compassion, safety, and humour are all important in my counselling work.
It is important to find the right counsellor for you. So, a bit about me: I am Pākehā and have also lived in the UK and South America. I am outdoorsy, and a lover of the arts. I have professional experience in corporate and academic environments, in creative and scientific capacities. All this helps me relate well to a range of people and experiences.
