Hello, Kia ora, I am Ria and I warmly welcome you to my counselling space.
I offer skilled, trauma sensitive and compassionate support for your emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing. I am ACC registered and accepting new clients . My approach is pluralistic and grounded within person centered, humanistic psychology. Meaning I work with you collaboratively and draw on several different modalities according to your needs as a unique and whole person.
Talking Therapy, narrative, psychodynamic , somatic and expressive art /movement approaches are regularly integrated within in my practice.
I work with individuals and couples who are going through challenges with their emotions, communication, mental health and general sense of wellbeing.
This may include issues with anxiety, stress, grief, low mood, depression and relationships.
I am experienced in working with trauma related issues such as ptsd, sexual harm and interpersonal abuse.
I believe that the therapeutic connection is so valuable in therapy. Feeling safe enough to be vulnerable can help the healing journey feel less isolating and it can also help bring back a sense of hope.
If you feel ready to reach out I offer a free 15min intro session so we can gently explore if we are a good fit to work together.
