I work with women that are struggling with their mental, emotional health. They struggle to put themselves first. They feel who they are being and who they are, are not in alignment. They want to be able to assert their boundaries, feel good about themselves and not worry about what other people think. Having the confidence to go after the things they want. These women are wanting to have a life/job/relationships that fulfill them. They want to feel like their life is purposeful. Experiencing impact, freedom, joy and peace with EASE and flow!

I bring a sensitive and intuitive approach to counselling, that is authentic, non-judgmental and empathetic. It is natural and normal to go through difficult times of feeling overwhelmed, alone or stuck. Many experiences in our lives have an impact on our well-being, such as work pressures, family and relationship challenges, loss, trauma, abuse, and unmet needs in childhood. Each one of us will be affected differently. I provide a safe space for you to feel supported and cared for while processing difficult experiences and emotions.

You feel so lost and defeated. You aren’t sure what exactly is wrong, just that something is just not right. Is it depression? Anxiety? You can’t even tell sometimes. You want to have control of your life again! To feel better! You don't want to be exhausted and overwhelmed and scared by everything. All. The. Time. You want peace, confidence and to know you can do hard things! Trust me, this IS possible for you!
Joanna Delamere
Counsellor
Are you overworked, overwhelmed and frustrated a lot of the time? Are your health and your relationships struggling because of it? Do you feel like you are stuck in a system that just doesn’t enable you to live authentically? Have you completely lost touch with living in accordance with Nature’s rhythms and long for a slower pace of life? Do you know intuitively that there must be a better way, but you just don’t know where to begin? When we stop listening to our body and living as part of Nature, we suffer. It shows up in every area of our life.

Counsellor, NZAC - Provisional

UNIQUE I don’t believe in “one solution fits all”. So I do an initial assessment and get to know you and your therapy goals. I train in different methods and techniques and tailor the session to your needs. HOLISTIC My approach to well-being and happiness is holistic. I look at the different elements in your life and your environment to better understand where you are at right now and what you need. I work on being present, mindful, and accepting. EMPOWERING I believe in giving people tools to apply in their lives outside of the therapy room. I like to give people the autonomy to make choices and perfect their reflective skills.
