MY COUNSELLING SERVICES
GENERAL
COUNSELLING
​
In my general counselling work, people of all ages and from all walks of life come to me for help with a wide range of personal issues. Together, we will work through what’s troubling you, and find solutions to help you find peace of mind and the ability to respond to life’s ups and downs with resilience and confidence.

HEALTH
COUNSELLING
A permanent health change can come as a bit of a shock and take some getting used to. It can affect your lifestyle, your work, and your relationships. As a trained therapist with extensive experience in health counselling, I am here to help you digest the news and continue with your life in a positive way.
​
PHYSICAL
TRAUMA
Just as physical rehabilitation supports healing of the body following an accident or injury, the trauma counselling I offer will help you to recover your mental and emotional health after the traumatic event, and adjust positively to any lasting changes in your life.

“Such an amazing, optimistic counsellor. Rather than focusing on the negatives we focused on who I wanted to be and she got me there!”
– JM, Auckland
“I appreciated the way Katy challenged me (gently, at first) to achieve my own goals. Katy uses multiple counselling practices and methodologies, being able to work with more than one over time has been fantastic.”
– SB, Auckland
COUNSELLING approaches i use
acceptance & commitment therapy
​
ACT teaches that a deep sense of calm arises from accepting what is out of our control, while at the same time committing to acting or behaving in ways that improve and enrich our lives according to who we want to be.
cognitive behavioural therapy
CBT is a form of talk therapy which can be used to help people work through a wide range of challenging issues. In this therapy we gently challenge and change underlying, unhelpful thought patterns.
Positive psychology
Positive psychology identifies the strengths and virtues you already have and enables them so you start to thrive. This dynamic and satisfying type of therapy is about looking forward, and creating a life worth living!
