Kia ora, My name is Kay. I'm a relationship counsellor working with couples, families, parents, and individuals. My therapy room is in Christchurch City Centre on Bealey Avenue. I believe that there is little of greater importance than living in right relationship: with ourselves, our partner, our family, and our community. I understand how we long to be understood and loved by the important people in our lives, however sometimes we struggle to achieve this. I would be honoured to work with you to improve the quality of your relationships and your life. Read more on my website: www.heartandmind.org.nz
I specialise in Attachment-based therapy: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and families, and Neufeld Institute for parenting and children. In addition to Person-Centered, Narrative, Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. "The quality of our life is ultimately determined by the quality of our relationships" - Esther Perel.
There are various reasons why people seek counselling, such as having distorted or limiting beliefs, needing help in their processing traum, lacking the courage and vision to step out into the person they want to be, or feeling overwhelmed by challenges and stress. These things spill over into our relationships causing distress. There is hope for change.
