When life gives you lemons...
It helps to talk.
WELCOME
I’m so glad you’re here. Looking for counselling can be a weird process. Will I get along with my counsellor? Do they know what they’re doing? Are they cheap enough? Are they close enough to home or work so I can slip away for a session during the day? All this uncertainty is enough to make you run for the hills. The aim of this website is to answer these questions and hopefully get rid of some of the anxiety.
I’m here to answer any questions that you might have.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Jo.
I was born and raised in South Africa and have been living in beautiful New Zealand for 9 years. I have a slight obsession with houseplants (the jungle vibes are real), and I'll probably greet your dog before I greet you — no offense. I have a Bachelor's degree in counselling and psychology and am working my way through the red tape to get registered with NZAC.
I'm so glad you're here. Life can get tough sometimes and when that happens, it helps to talk to someone. A person removed from your own circle, who doesn't have an agenda or opinion about what is best for you. Someone who can actually listen and ask the right questions, without judgement or criticism.
I believe in empowering individuals to take control of their lives. I work in a non-judgemental, kind, curious way that honours the individual’s inner power and wisdom. I enjoy this work, because I get to witness the magic that happens between two people when the conditions are right. Through my own therapy journey I have been lost in the woods and am intimately familiar with the shame, sadness, anxiety & confusion that jumps out from behind the trees. Together, we can navigate your unique forest and find our way through it.
