About me
About me
Embedded Files
I'm Nanda, a NZAC registered counsellor (#10725) whose practice is informed by narrative therapy and a relational understanding of people's lives.
I believe our experiences cannot be separated from the relationships, histories, cultures and social contexts in which we live. I'm interested in the stories that shape how we understand ourselves, as well as the values, commitments and overlooked experiences that can open up new possibilities.
My approach is collaborative and curious. Instead of positioning myself as the expert on your life, I aim to create a space where we can think together about what matters to you and what you would like to be different.
I offer online counselling throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, with an emphasis on respect, connection and the complexity of being human.
Qualifications
My counselling practice is informed by postgraduate counselling education, professional development, and over 9 years experience in community-based mental health and wellbeing services.
Master of Counselling - Waikato University
Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) - Massey University
Level 3 Tikanga — Te Wānanga o Aotearoa
Types of Services
Making space for your story
Making space for your story
Individual counselling offers a space to pause, reflect and explore what is happening in your life. Together, we can look at the stories shaping how you understand yourself, the challenges you're facing, and the values and commitments that matter to you.
My approach is collaborative and informed by narrative therapy. We can explore how difficulties have come to influence your life, recognise the skills and knowledge you've developed along the way, and make room for alternative stories and possibilities.
You don't need to have everything figured out before we begin. We can start wherever you are.
Understanding the space between us
Understanding the space between us
Our relationships can be sources of belonging, care and meaning, but they can also become places of tension, misunderstanding or disconnection.
Relational counselling offers an opportunity to slow down and explore what happens between people: the patterns that repeat, the stories each person carries, and the expectations and circumstances that shape how we relate to one another.
Our work can focus on developing a richer understanding of each other's experiences, recognising what matters to everyone involved, and exploring different ways of relating. For couples and whānau.
