My name is Rebekah, and I am a 31 year old counsellor based in Christchurch.

​

I am based in both Rolleston and Christchurch, offering flexibility for clients. I provide in person sessions as well as online counselling throughout New Zealand.

I have experience working with a wide range of ages and presenting concerns. I have a particular interest in working with adolescents, neurodivergent individuals, and men. That said, I welcome anyone who is seeking support, and I consider it an immense privilege to be trusted with my client's difficult stories. 

​

Personally, I am a mother to two neurodivergent kids, as well as a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, travelling, learning, and having an afternoon nap (when my kids let me!). 

​

In my counselling practice, I aim to create a space that feels safe, welcoming and not too serious where our sessions not only consist of exploring your issue at depth, but also allow for moments of laughter and genuine connection to naturally emerge alongside our work. I aim to provide not only tools, but also a trusting client/counsellor relationship that in itself can also facilitate growth.

​

I also have lived experience as a counselling client, so I understand what it feels like to sit in the client’s chair. This allows me to meet my clients with empathy and a genuine understanding of the vulnerability and emotional honesty that counselling can require.

​

I have spent the past two years working as a counsellor in a local high school and also have experience supporting parents, young children, and adolescents in complex and challenging circumstances within a care and protection setting.

​

I offer a flexible schedule, including some after-hours availability. If you have any questions, or want to say hi, please feel free to get in touch.

 

I look forward to hearing from you 😊
