Veronica
COUNSELLOR
I am a qualified counsellor. I have practised as a professional health worker throughout my life. I recently qualified as a counsellor and this compliments my other skills and life experience.
I work with adults and children (from 7 and above) using mainly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person Centred Therapy (PCT) approaches.
I adapt these modalities to the needs of each individual.
I am passionate about helping individuals discover their potential, and develop intothe people they want to be.
I have a special interest in working with those
experiencing grief, loss, depression, anxiety, acute or chronic health challenges.
I feel extremely privileged and excited to be working alongside clients, and their whanau.
Throughout my career I have worked as a Sonographer, Radiographer, and an Ambulance Officer. This has involved working with people in pain and challenging situations.
My work has taken me into Regional, Rural, and Remote sites throughout Australia and Aotearoa. I was born in Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland), but grew up in both Tauranga and Kirikiriroa.
I am the Mum to one son and two talkative Burmese cats. In my spare time I enjoy being with friends and family, spending time at the beach, fishing, exploring all the beauty Aotearoa has to offer, and watching movies/tv series on Netflix.
