Welcome to Pukekohe Counselling Service
Many people have had life shattering experiences through verbal, physical or sexual abuse or neglect. I specialise in putting the pieces back together, in taking the shattered pieces and making a beautiful mosaic.
I am caring, supportive, accepting, encouraging, offer unconditional positive respect. My service is professional and confidential.
Many find the pain of what they have been through overwhelming, and hard to cope with. I help reduce the pain and teach you new ways to self soothe and reduce the pain.
Many people have been diagnosed with a mental illness, for example Anxiety Disorder, Clinical Depression,Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Bi-Polar, to name a few. I believe that diagnosis is helpful, as is the medication, but I work with helping to reduce the symptoms and the underlying pain and cause of the problem, rather than focusing on the diagnosis, or accepting the label.
I do not see people as their diagnosis. I see people as human beings with symptoms that can be healed. The diagnosis does not have to be set in concrete. I encourage you to work on the cause of the problem rather than hide it in even more medication. It is important to feel the pain in order to heal from the pain.
