Helping you navigate life’s challenges.

A safe space to be heard, to heal and to grow.

Hi, I’m Kate.

Sometimes we need to make time to navigate the complexities of our lives.  If you are struggling to move through a difficult time in your life or simply wish to explore your future options it can be really helpful to talk in a confidential space. As your counsellor or coach I will work collaboratively with you to understand what might be holding you back from leading the life you want and how you can make the changes you need to move forward.

As a trained professional in both Coaching and Counselling I take confidentiality seriously. I abide by the code of ethics set by New Zealand Counsellors Association (NZAC).  I also enjoy working collaboratively with lawyers, GPs, nutritionists, work places and schools for you to build a strong support team.

How might we work together

  • Counselling

    I offer counselling for both individuals or small groups in a warm and engaging space – either in person or online.

    I am trained in Solution Focused Therapy and integrate this practice with Acceptance commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support my clients to make sense of their lives.

  • Divorce Coaching

    Divorce is likely to be one of the biggest and most heart wrenching life transition you will ever make and yet we are often expected to solve all these big decisions on our own at a very emotional time.

    Having someone to guide you through the process can help you move through your divorce with care and dignity.

ADHD Counselling

Are you struggling to stay focused, manage time effectively, or maintain control of your thoughts and emotions?

If you or someone you know is experiencing these challenges, you might be dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). As a registered counsellor and coach, I am here to provide guidance, support, and practical strategies to help you manage ADHD and navigate life with confidence. 

I don't provide diagnoses, but I specialise in assisting individuals who already have an ADHD diagnosis or suspect they may have ADHD. Through a collaborative and client-centered approach, we can work together to create a personalised plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. .

The ADHDvantage

In collaboration with my colleague Annie Romanos, we have developed an 8 week professional development programme specifically designed for bright sparks with ADHD.

This online, live group course has all the benefits of 1:1 coaching plus more, at a significantly lower price.

Spaces are limited - next cohort starting May, 2024

Ending and Beginnings

“The only constant in life is that life is not constant”.

I’m not sure where I first saw that quote or who said it first, but those words have helped me to navigate and accept difficult seasons in my life. Knowing that we are always changing, and that life will throw us curveballs occasionally helps me to embrace life with a sense of unknowing and acceptance that sometimes we experience hard endings, but if we are willing to explore a different life, we can in fact find happiness and contentment.

“ You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”
