Kia Ora! Welcome! to Mona Vale Ave Counselling, Christchurch

As an experienced counsellor I hold a Masters degree in Counselling, an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a postgraduate certificate in behaviour change.

I offer a confidential space for clients to discuss issues so that they may overcome their difficulties. I encourage clients to talk about their feelings in a neutral environment so that together we can explore choices and goals, discuss strategies, develop plans, and build support. In building a therapeutic relationship with clients I have noticed that being able to talk with someone who stands outside of the problem, who is non-judgemental and unbiased, often helps the client feel lighter, calmer, and more relaxed.
