Counsellor
Hello, Kia ora,
I am Ria and I warmly welcome you to my counselling space. I offer skilled, trauma trained and compassionate support for your emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing. I am an ACC and NZAC registered counsellor.
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. Talk Therapy, narrative, psychodynamic , somatic and expressive approaches are regularly integrated within my practice. I also work with addiction issues.
I’m experienced in supporting individuals and couples who may be 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 relationship communications.
I am experienced in working with trauma related issues such as PTSD, sexual harm and relational harm.
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.
