Therapists in Whanganui

I offer in person counselling in Kāpiti or online counselling throughout New Zealand to adults and adolescents. I am flexible in my approach, which is individualised for you depending on your current needs. I work in a client centred, collaborative way where we meet together as equals working to satisfy the outcome that you desire, respecting your values, beliefs and uniqueness. We will work together and at a pace that works for you enabling you to heal and move forward to your wholeness - of what is already there. I believe that we can find solutions to your difficulties using the strength and resources that you have within you.

I believe very strongly that we all have the power within ourselves to live the best lives we can. My aim is to help you with whatever you bring into the room. With an open mind and the skills I have I can help you move forward in your life to a happier place.

Counselling is for everyone — whether you’re stressed or overwhelmed by current challenges, or you want to address some things that have been hanging over you for many years. As a counsellor, I play a unique role. Because I’m separate to your friends and family, I can offer a fresh perspective, which can be helpful and empowering. I’m trained to listen to your story with empathy, to identify areas that you may not be able to see, and to help you to make meaningful changes that allow you to build a healthy and fulfilling life. I help some of my clients to unpack their life story in a safe and supported way.

My role as a counsellor is to help you to get on the path to bring about the changes you wish to make in your life. I believe in listening to, valuing and honouring people and the path they walk in life. I am available to meet with you to discuss and talk through anything that is concerning you, or that you would like to see different in your life. An initial counselling session will enable you to discuss with me what you want to achieve during the counselling process. It will also help me to gain a bigger picture of who you are, so together we can work out how you will bring the changes you seek to make.

We all face mountains to climb in ours lives at some point, whether it’s loss, change, or a mental health challenge, any mountain can be climbed with support and a route map. Counselling can help us find our own path to heal, change, or manage our challenges in life. Counselling can give us new life tools and an independent lens on our situation, whether that’s a life decision, loss, change, or a mental health challenge. We are all different, and we are all capable of positive change with support and tools to help us.

I am therapist and registered Social Worker working in Te Awakairangi (Lower Hutt). I enjoy working with people in all stages of their lives, however I have a particular interest in working with young adults and prioritise referrals from the queer community. I work with people experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD, and interpersonal difficulties.

I find inspiration in working with people to discover the possibilities in their lives to experience fearlessness, expression, joy, love and freedom. I am a specialist in navigating safely from abuse and decolonisation. Together we can find safe pathways of meaning from suffering to liberation from our socialisation, and attachment imprinting. Through exploring cultural, spiritual, and creative practices to embrace and reflect on ancestral, intergenerational, and personal stories we can anchor in our strengths to heal and connect more deeply with ourselves and others. An artist and mystic focused on soulful living.

I am currently only working with women and am passionate about supporting and empowering them towards their authentic selves. Taking steps on your growth journey is a sometimes challenging but deeply rewarding way of valuing and prioritising yourself so it's important to find a good fit. Please contact me over email or phone to schedule a consultation. Currently I am not working with couples, those in crisis or high risk self-harm behaviours.

By coming this far, you've already demonstrated a strong desire to make a change and take steps forward towards your goals. These goals could be your journey of self acceptance and confidence, your relationship with you family members, your relationship with your significant other or spouse, your parenting skills/style, your daily habits or even escaping the grip or a powerful addiction. I (Hamada Eleleimy) will coach you to identify your goals clearly and support your effort to achieve them.

Life can seem like a unending jaggurenaut. Drawing from my own experiences as a neurodivergent individual in a world that expects normaility, I work with you to help face the demands of life and put into place practices that will enable you to be your best self.

As a certified NLP Master Wellbeing Coach, Trainer, Instructor, and licensed Ericksonian Hypnotherapist, I use a wide range of other therapeutic tools to help people increase effectiveness and wellbeing. I support the release of trapped emotions, reduce depression and anxiety, and manage personality disorders, low self-esteem, and other forms of emotional imbalance. I also specialise in helping parents and families create more empowering and loving relationships.

I have been working in the areas of mental health, addictions, family harm, and sexual violence since 2010. I have been operating a successful private practice in the Hawkes Bay area since 2019.

My office is in a field with my herd of horses. My purpose is guiding others to healthier and happier ways of 'being' in this world. This includes increasing resiliency by expanding one's window of tolerance to weather the ebbs and flows through self-regulation, connection and relationship. My equine partners do this naturally, so working from a trauma-informed perspective, I prioritize establishing safety and trust, by providing a non-judgemental, nurturing environment.

It brings me joy to support people to be the best version of themselves. I believe we are all capable of growing and developing at any stage of life and it can be tremendously beneficial to talk with a trained professional when navigating significant life changes. It would be my pleasure to walk with you through these difficult times and help you live your best life.

Kia ora koutou. Sometimes everything can get too much and is hard to navigate. Sometimes the inside gets really noisy, and it becomes hard to operate. It is completely normal to experience and to get stuck in these times or perhaps notice some unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I'm passionate about supporting people to find their way through these times. Together we will explore your world. To help you understand where you are; see different perspectives; and help you find practical solutions; that will initially help you cope and then begin to move forward.
