Kia ora & welcome,
My name is Rebekah, and I am a 32 year old counsellor based in both Christchurch and Rolleston. I am bachelor qualified and I am registered with the New Zealand Association of Counsellors, abiding by their code of ethics.β 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 welcome anyone over the age of 18 who is seeking support. I consider it an immense privilege to walk alongside my clients as they navigate a variety of challenges.
βPersonally, I am a mother of two kids and our greyhound, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. In my spare time I find myself watching documentaries, thinking too much, getting outside and I also enjoy an afternoon nap when I can.
In my counselling practice, I work in a way that values the common humanity between client and counsellor as well as normalising seeking mental health support. Our sessions will 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 and support, but also a trusting client and counsellor relationship that in itself can 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 a genuine understanding of the vulnerability and emotional honesty that counselling requires.β
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.
