Kia ora, I’m Shelley-Anne Kim. I aim to create a space that is inclusive, culturally respectful, and grounded in genuine connection. I have experience working with people who are: teens and adults, male, female or nonbinary; gender diverse; neurodiverse; navigating life transitions; survivors of sexual abuse, family abuse and neglect; has dealt abuse to others and want to learn new/more lifegiving ways of relating; feeling lost in the world of relationships, romantic or otherwise; couples; grieving loss (of health, jobs, pets, people, purpose); used to surviving by using drugs, alcohol or dissociation.
I’m a qualified counsellor based in Tauranga, and the founder of Safe Harbour Counselling—a space where people can find calm, clarity, and connection as they navigate life’s changing waters. I model myself as a Narrative Therapist and I draw on person-centred, strengths-based and trauma-informed models of care.
The name Safe Harbour reflects my belief that almost everyone seeks a place of refuge sometimes—a space to pause, reflect, and gather strength. Sometimes having another person take time out to be with us can be helpful. If you have read this far, you may be wondering whether to take the plunge and come and see someone. Nau mai, Haere mai.

"
I operate from a narrative perspective. That is, we live out of the stories others tell about us or we tell about ourselves. Some of those stories are not helpful, or may even be destructive. Given a chance, and special care and attention, the preferred stories of our lives can be discovered and lived into. There is more to us than the problem story!
