Being A Teen Can Suck

(but it doesn’t have to!)

I am a fully registered qualified counsellor based in Pinehill, Auckland. I specialize in helping youth and  teenagers overcome problems in their lives.

I Help Youth And Teenagers With Issues Of:

Bullying

Being bullied is one of the most devastating issues faced by teens. I help guide victims through the ordeal that is bullying.

Self-Harm

More teenagers are self harming than ever before. I help teenagers find healthy ways to deal with the pain that leads to self-harming behaviour.

Confidence

Many teenagers face issues of self-confidence. I teach teenagers how to feel good about themselves, regardless of what is going on around them.

I have never attended counselling before. What should I expect?

 It is normal to feel a nervousness of what to expert from the first counselling session. But I will endeavour to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

The first session is usually with building a rapport to help you get to know me more, helping you feel more relaxed and safe to explore what has been troubling you.

This process will be with me exploring, asking questions to go deeper into how this is effecting your day to day life. Now of course you can answer as many (or as few) of these questions as you feel comfortable with. It is my job to make counselling a safe, comfortable and an easy process while I assist you in moving towards what makes you feel happier again.  

​If you have any questions that you would like to ask me prior to booking a counselling session, please feel free to book a 15 minute consultation with me. 

What if I have to cancel an appointment?

If for any reason you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

Please note: Can you please provide at least 24 hours notice or there will be cancellation fee of the full session.
