I help mothers and women struggling with anxiety regulate their nervous system so they can move from feeling constantly overwhelmed, reactive, and exhausted to feeling calm, grounded, and safe within themselves. I've been there myself. I know what it feels like to live with constant anxiety, exhaustion, and overwhelm, and I also know how life-changing it is to finally feel safe in your own mind and body. I'm a mother of two, hold a Master of Science in Psychology, and I'm a certified Rapid Transformational Therapist. I am supporting women to create lasting change through subconscious rewiring and nervous system regulation.

I work with individuals and couples who are functioning on the outside but struggling internally, feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected in relationships, or stuck in painful repeating patterns. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who find themselves overthinking, shutting down, becoming reactive in conflict, or losing themselves in relationships. Together, we work to understand the patterns beneath these experiences, develop greater self-awareness and emotional steadiness, and create more connected, intentional ways of relating to themselves and others.

My name is Jess and, together with my therapy dog Odinn, I offer body-based and animal assisted counselling and therapy services. We work with adult clients across the whole wellbeing spectrum: from people who want to get more out of their life, find a deeper sense of self, or connect to their body; to those that have experienced trauma struggling with basic tasks of daily living. Many have found traditional cognition based talk therapy less helpful or do not know yet how to put their experiences into words. No matter your reasons, we are here to create a space in which we can explore where you are, what you want, and what you need.

I’m Lisa Graham, NZ Registered Social Worker and the founder of Maternal Wellness. I walk alongside women as they navigate the raw, beautiful and sometimes overwhelming experience of matrescence (transition to motherhood). You do not have to make sense of motherhood on your own - your emotional well-being matters, and you are worthy of support that truly sees you.

See More Female Counsellors FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
