ABOUT ME

Nice to meet You

Judyonline counselling for you

My Dad taught us alot about the state of being human, just by people watching. Observing body language and interactions on many levels. Mum taught us compassion.

I discovered the official world of psychology at university, while I was studying teaching. Fast forward a few years, and I chose counselling as my degree.

I find psychology and counselling have such a profound and positive impact on the psyche of any individual, and I want to help. Plus, I am able to interact on a much deeper basis in counselling, one on one, rather than the teaching model I had previously learnt.

I have 15 years experience in a variety of clinical counselling and therapeutic settings. In the past I served as the administrator on the committee of the New Zealand Association of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Now I am a professionally licensed member of the Association of Neuro Linguistic Programming which ensures the training and practice of it’s professional members is in accordance with the highest international standards.

So while offering a healing experience on a conscious level, I will work with you to discover your own self awareness of what also may be the current experience on an automatic level. Where you are filled with unconscious thoughts that are provoking behaviours, which are no longer needed or wanted.

In addition, I have advanced my studies beyond Reiki master/ teacher to include Karuna Reiki, which creates a whole new level of healing that is available to you if you wish. Although I have by no means reached the depth of the human experience, I can gratefully offer you the healing capacity of mind, body and spirit to fit in with you, wherever you are, or need right now.

Why work with me?

I know that there is a good reason to feel the way you do, I also understand you are a person who wants to be heard, understood and learn self compassion. Together we can create a customised plan to achieve your needs and goals through powerful transformation tools that, if you require, will address your emotional, physical, spiritual and psychological patterning, to light you up in success.

If you want to find a partnership in helping you to heal and sustain your vision of wellbeing, you have nothing to loose through a free consultation and it may be that you find the right counsellor for you. Press the button and get your free consultation now.

Jump to 2006 I graduated with a counselling diploma and also become a practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming. I stepped into a position as clinic manager of a counselling centre where I specialised in grief and trauma, mostly using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).

I then moved to being the sole national advisor during the government role-out of the sexual abuse ‘Its Not Ok’ campaign, before gaining qualifications that allowed me to move into human wellbeing on a more holistic level, by incorporating massage (body), and becoming a Reiki Master and teacher (spirit).

SOME OF THE PROVEN

Counselling Methods

I USE

Solution Focused Therapy

Solution focused therapy is founded on the rationale that there are exceptions to every problem and through examining these exceptions and having a clear vision of a preferred future, you and I together can generate ides for solutions. Solution focused therapists are competency and future focused. We highlight and utilise client strengths to enable a more effective future.

Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP is not a talk therapy, it is goal oriented and short term. It’s a form of psychotherapy derived from integrating trauma therapy, neurophysiology, memory, imagination and linguistics and scientifically proven in ongoing research around the world for over thirty years. It’s a journey, or process, of discovering what we were previously not aware of about ourselves.

Client Centered / Humanistic

In recognising your potential you will receive unconditional positive regard to help facilitate change. My role is to avoid directing the course of therapy, by following your lead whenever possible. Instead I offer support, guidance, and structure so that you can discover personalised solutions for yourself.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT explores the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours. It’s a directive, time limited, structured approach to help you develop more adaptive behaviours and thought processes.

Your sessions will be tailor-made to suit you from my toolbox of 15 years experience
