Kia ora and welcome to Wellbeing Counselling's first post.

Kia ora and welcome to Wellbeing Counselling and our very first post.

My name is Halen and I am originally from the far north of New Zealand. I hold an Arts degree in English (Waikato University) and a Health Sciences degree in counselling from Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and am a provisionally registered member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC).

As a member of NZAC, all members must seek regular counselling supervision to ensure we continue to grow, learn and remain competent in this field of work.

We also attend workshops to continue to practice with up-to-date methods and tools.

I have an immense interest in mental health and wellbeing, and how traumatic childhood experiences are often culprits for showing up and affecting our relationships with others in adulthood.

Wellbeing Counselling is an online counselling therapy space that offers individual and couples counselling for a variety of issues and challenges including anxiety and low mood, loneliness, anger, issues with porn, issues with intimacy, chronic pain, endometriosis, pain with intercourse, and life transitions to name a few.

We offer a safe space to be able to unpack and explore what's big and important for you and at a pace that is comfortable. We will then look at ways to equip you with appropriate tools and support as you begin this next chapter in your life.

Future posts will provide information and tips regarding counselling, navigating stress and will include some small changes we can make to ensure a meaningful and authentic life.

Check back each week as new information and tips are posted. If you would like to inquire more about a session, please contact us at: halen@wellbeingcounselling.co.nz or inquire on our homepage.
