Using my training from psychology and transpersonal counselling, I use a 3-step process for working with clients: Step One: What's getting in the way of life for you?
Have you been feeling stuck or held back by limiting beliefs or unhelpful patterns in your life that are getting in the way of the life you had envisioned? Are you keen to improve your confidence, self-belief and feel happier with yourself? Are you ready to embrace "the true you" in order to make strides toward the life you want to create? If you're ready for change, get in touch.

Kia ora, I'm Paola. In therapy, change comes in waves and cycles, like with the tides. I provide my clients a safe and professional environment to navigate those therapeutic tides in the smoothest way possible. I bring to the therapeutic process competence, clarity and clinical discernment for the client to be able to dive safely in the deep waters of personal transformation. Clients report that they experience tangible results as enhanced self-esteem and trust, reduced severity of symptoms as anxiety, depression, grief or mental confusion, and the restoring of their capacity for secure, and organized relationships, among others.

Hello, I’m Anja, and I’m passionate about supporting you on your journey toward happiness, authenticity, and meaningful relationships. You may feel stuck in circumstances that don’t reflect who you truly are. Perhaps you’ve shaped yourself to meet expectations, yet inside there’s a sense of restlessness, self-doubt, or disconnection. Deep down, you long for more nourishing connections and freedom from past experiences or recurring patterns that no longer serve you. What you truly seek is clarity, confidence in expressing yourself, and a deeper alignment with the life and relationships you desire.

With clinical training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, alongside yoga, meditation & an MSc in Consciousness, Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology, I bring a holistic, integrative approach to healing.
I'm a psychodynamic therapist with a particular interest in clients navigating existential, intimacy, relational, psychospiritual or wairua challenges. You might be struggling feeling disconnected or less connected than you'd like — from others, a partner, life, or yourself. Maybe you're wrestling with a lack of meaning or identity; feeling stuck, numb, or like you're going through the motions; longing for a deeper experience of aliveness, purpose, or belonging. Sometimes clients come to me with a sense that it's hard to trust life or that something is missing, and a desire to explore that in a safe, professional, attuned space.

I work with people on their healing journey who are over 20yrs who are not finding meaning in their life struggles. It may be despondency, fear, difficulties in relationships, a lack of self-compassion and/or other issues that fuel their troubles. Within the therapeutic relationship we explore what's been previously unheard and unacknowledged to find a place of safety, ease and peace inside and out. Difficult feelings are signals to unmet needs, and together we explore and work through unfinished business and grief to arrive at needs being met, self-acceptance and previously untapped positive energy (prev as a Health Psychologist).

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
