Frequently asked questions
Coaching provides an effective support system for achieving personal and professional goals by helping you get clear on what you want and how you are going to make it happen. Counselling provides people with a safe space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It’s a talking therapy where a trained professional helps individuals navigate emotional and psychological challenges with specialist techniques and strategies.
I utilise a range of therapeutic modalities in my practice including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Narrative Therapy, Psychosynthesis, Person-Centred Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS).
During the first session we will establish the issues you want to address and discuss some background information. The number of sessions required varies widely, depending on individual circumstances, but averages around 4-6 sessions. Often this is followed by 1 or 2 follow up sessions to monitor and fine-tune progress.
Counselling sessions last 60 minutes and can be held in my central Wellington office, or online.
All sessions are confidential. The only exception is if there is concern for your safety or the safety of another person.
As a qualified coach and counsellor, I hold a Bachelor of Applied Social Sciences in Counselling, a Bachelor of Science majoring in Psychology, a Certificate in Counselling and Social Work, and a Diploma in Professional Coaching.
