Discovery Counselling
A safe place to journey towards wellbeing.
Kia ora. I'm Nicola, a qualified counsellor, with a background in teaching and community work. I counsel people of all ages.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental and affirming space where individual clients and whanau are encouraged to discover their own hidden strengths, a pathway to wellbeing and hope for the future. Client choice and empowerment, and valuing culture and uniqueness, are important aspects of my work.
I use a range of approaches to cater to the needs of my clients, including Person-Centred, Strengths Based, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative and Systemic Family Practices.
Online, phone or face-to-face counselling is available
on request.
If you are considering counselling, please feel welcome to contact me, to see if I would be the right person to support you on your journey towards wellbeing.

What I can help with
Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety and excessive worrying can seriously impact quality of life. Counselling can help, including with past trauma, OCD, social anxiety and self-image issues.
Depression and Grief

Relationships

Trauma
Traumatic experiences and abuse can have a life-long impact. A counselling approach that is gentle, caring and focussed on your wellbeing can really make a difference.
Whanau/family relationships can be challenging, particularly when coping
with life stressors and parenting issues.
A solution-focused approach can assist caregivers and whanau to navigate these challenges.

Group Work

Anxiety, anger, grief and a poor self-image also affect tamariki and rangatahi. Counselling aids in understanding emotions and responses, and building resilience.
I offer group sessions for schools, churches and organisations on topics such as; managing grief/loss (all ages), and the Boundaries Course, which helps adults build or rebuild relationships based on healthy boundaries. Facilitation of other types of wellbeing sessions can also be arranged, according to needs.
"Very kind and understanding. Made me feel comfortable and that my feelings and thoughts were valid. I greatly appreciated her ability to make sure I was comfortable and happy in each aspect of our session. I am very grateful for my time with her. Thank you."
"Nicola, from the very start, has provided a safe environment, and focused on my issues with competence and warmth. I never felt like I couldn't share something and the sessions really helped with my problem. I would recommend talking to Nicola 100%!!"
"Before counselling, I couldn't control my worries and it was very scary. I would start getting a very sore tummy and it made me very sad. I learnt how to control my worries, calm down and stop my tummy aches from hitting so hard. Now I can control my worries and tell my worries to go away..."
(Child client)
"Nicola welcomed me with open arms and I immediately felt comfortable talking to her about my problems. You have helped me cope more with my day to day life and for that I am very grateful."
"Nicola recently worked with my 10 yr old daughter who was unhappy and anxious about the world around her. Nicola helped my daughter by giving her a comfortable space to talk, practical tools to manage herself and the support to push through and overcome her fears. We are impressed at what was accomplished in such a short time and are truly thankful to Nicola for helping our family."
"Nicola's counselling gave me back the determination to work through my troubles. She gave me the necessary tools and motivation to use them."
"When Nicola contacted me on the first day, I was an emotional wreck. I couldn't finish a sentence without breaking down. Her approach, empathy, understanding and counselling has saved me - especially the art of writing down all my fears on paper."
"I have been blown away by the changes in my 6 year old daughter since we started seeing Nicola. She created a safe and nurturing space where my child was quickly able to express herself. My daughter's confidence has blossomed and she has been empowered to take charge of her anxious feelings. The tools Nicola has taught her will be lifelong. I am extremely grateful for the support and guidance we have received from Nicola."
"Counselling was definitely useful for me because it made me aware how resilient I am, resourceful, to improve myself."
