My services
I See You - Counselling and Play Therapy offers a range of counselling and play therapy services designed to support individuals of all ages in Whanganui, New Zealand. My services are tailored to meet your unique needs, fostering emotional well-being and personal growth.
Play therapy
Play therapy at I See You provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to express their emotions, process experiences, and develop coping strategies through the power of play. I utilise various play-based techniques to facilitate healing and growth.
Counselling
My counselling service offers a supportive and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. At I See You, I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals, develop strategies, and promote positive change in their lives.
Clientele and issues
I have worked for three years with a wide range of people and issues including LGBTQI+, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, family harm, and much more. I love to work with children and tamariki from as young as 2 years old, right through to people in their 70s and onwards.
Types of therapy
I have training and experience in a wide range of therapies including person-centred, narrative, cognitive behavioural, child-centred play therapy, and a range of emotion, body, and creativity-focused therapies. I come from an attachment, strengths-based, and trauma-informed lenses.
