ABOUT
Kia ora, I'm Halen Grbich.
I'm 38, a counselling therapist and have worked with clients facing a variety of challenges including those listed above. I'm also a part-time counselling lecturer. My unusual name comes from my parents love for Van Halen.
What is Wellbeing Counselling?
Wellbeing Counselling is an online and in-person counselling space where you can safely unpack any challenges that have come up for you.
I take a person-centred approach and believe that you, as the client, are the expert in your life. My role is to listen, provide a safe space, be a guiding presence and to equip you with tools.
I am a provisional member registered with NZAC (New Zealand Association of Counsellors) and hold a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree (Counselling major).
I am flexible with my days/times however, ensure that I see a limited number of clients daily so that my energy and focus is on the client and what they are unpacking in sessions. This ensures quality practice and my competency as a counselling therapist.
As a member of NZAC, I work in accordance with the NZAC Code of Ethics and my work is also guided by the articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Counselling approaches
What approaches may be used?
My counselling approach is person-centred however, I am familiar with and may also integrate other approaches in sessions which include:
- Humanistic Therapy
- Hauora Māori approaches
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Creative-Expressive Therapy
- Mindfulness
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
