A safe journey
My name is Tony. I offer counselling and relationship counselling in Tauranga.
Respect, empathy, genuineness, and a less formal approach are some of the key ingredients in my counselling. Together, a safe journey through the therapy process helps bring positive change in your life and clarity for a smoother road ahead.
I will be listening with empathy and sensitivity, being non-judgemental and respectful of your thoughts, opinions and rights.
Improve the quality of your life
I can help you to understand yourself better, and improve the quality of your life. I can assist you to develop your skills and create new options to deal with issues more effectively.
Our counselling-sessions will help you to be honest and realistic about yourself and your relationships. I will support you to explore and give meaning to your life’s experiences.
Types of issues
I am experienced in working with clients on a wide range of issues, including:
Anger managementWhat does anger mean to you? If you want to change and deal with situations differently, you can contact me. |
Anxiety, fears and phobiasTogether we look at how you can get a grip on your anxiety and fears. |
DepressionDepression is a mood disorder that causes loss of love for life. |
Bereavement, grief, lossHow do you deal with life changing events: illness, divorce, death, job loss, a new phase in life, pension, a goodbye in whatever form. |
Relationship issuesIf you would like to work on your relationship, I would love to support you in that. I offer individual relationship counselling. The couple does not come in together. I usually see the one that has made the appointment. You’re welcome with issues such as: ✓ Adultery, affair, infidelity |
StressMore and more people live a life of stress. Therapy and coaching can support you to experience more time and space in your life again. |
TraumaDo you have trouble dealing with a traumatic experience? Was the experience too overwhelming, so much so, that you cannot get over it, whatever you do? |
Other problems and issuesYou’re also welcome with issues such as: ✓ Addiction ✓ Self esteem |
Extra support in life
Could you use some extra support in your life? Counselling and therapy can help!
I often give homework to clients so that they continue to process material after the session has finished. I have an extensive collection of handouts, which I may give to clients to supplement the work done in session.
They contain information or exercises to practise, which reinforces the therapy and encourages progress between sessions. The handouts are a valuable resource during the counselling journey and for future reference.
Feel free to send me a message. You can raise any questions you have, and tell me a little about your situation.
