I have worked in mental health for over 10 years, with clinical experience supporting adults navigating trauma, burnout, identity, relationships, and life transitions.
Many people who find their way to this work have spent a long time trying to put words to experiences that don’t always fit easily into ordinary conversation. They may feel things intensely, think in complex or creative ways, or find that their inner world moves in images, sensations, or metaphor rather than straightforward explanations. I work especially well with people who feel deeply, think creatively, or have struggled to find therapy that makes space for imagination, sensitivity, or non-linear ways of processing experience.

I'm an Italian therapist and I offer supervision for professionals and trauma specialised therapy for adults and couples.
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.

As Bessel van der Kolk notes, trauma is specifically an event that overwhelms the central nervous system, altering the way we process and recall memories. “Trauma is not the story of something that happened back then," he adds. "It's the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside people.” I am a well-established health professional who has dedicated my professional life working on releasing trauma in a natural, nurturing way, returning my clients to their natural state of wholeness. I call this "The Journey Home". I work from a neuroscience perspective. Harmonizing all aspects of our being Mind, Body and Soul

I specialize in 'good girl syndrome', nervous system regulation and divorce recovery in adults.
Are you deeply caring & highly sensitive… but exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else? Maybe you overthink, struggle to say no, feel anxious when others are upset, or quietly wonder “who am I now?” I help women gently untangle patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt & emotional exhaustion through online somatic and arts therapy. Together we work beyond the thinking mind, helping you reconnect with yourself, create inner safety & respond to life in a way that feels steadier, freer & more true to who you are.

Tired of living in your head? I work with people caught in patterns of overthinking, anxiety, people pleasing, and ADHD (even if you simply suspect you're neurodivergent). People who look fine on the outside but who feel quietly exhausted and disconnected on the inside. Maybe you've spent years making yourself smaller so others could feel more comfortable. Together, we'll work toward your authentic self and a full life. Grounded and present in your emotions. Confident and compassionate with yourself. More secure in your relationships.

I work with those facing stress and life issues, with organisations & leaders (see Leaders.DrPaul.Online) and supervise professionals (see Supervision.DrPaul.Online). More than just counselling, as a Registered Clinical Psychologist, I offer structured assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based solutions. Clients' feedback: 'Paul was able to articulate what was going on for me'. I highly recommend him. His approach was 'methodical, thoughtful, interesting and implementable, and made me feel comfortable and listened to'. 'Seeing Paul, I am now more confident, relaxed and a better person as a result' (see Feedback.DrPaul.Online).

Kia ora, I’m Glen, I’m a counsellor and I help people to find things. Find peace. Find strength. Find connection. Find energy. Find answers. Find purpose. Find ways forward. Because we can get a bit lost when we're challenged by life. Stuck. Confused. Conflicted. To me, counselling is about making time and space in your week to untangle things, lay them out, move the pieces around and start to get a better picture of what is going on. Then we can work with life rather than against it and hopefully move towards better days. Visit lostandfoundcounselling.co.nz for more info.

Feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, low mood, burnout, or people-pleasing and unsure how to shift them? You may be navigating grief, relationship stress, relocation, or major life transitions where things feel heavier than you can carry alone. People often seek counselling when they notice repeated patterns such as avoidance, emotional overwhelm, difficulty setting boundaries, loneliness, or challenges adjusting to new environments, identities, cultures, and relationships. Counselling can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin making sense of these experiences.
