Personalised counselling in a safe & supportive environment.
In New Zealand, not all counsellors are formally qualified. I am a registered and qualified counsellor, ensuring professional and ethical care. I offer expert guidance to help you achieve your personal growth and well-being goals.
Every journey is unique. I create tailored treatment plans to meet your specific needs, ensuring your therapy journey is effective and meaningful.
Your privacy is my priority. I provide a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings without judgment, ensuring your confidentiality is always respected.

I am Isabel, another human being navigating the journey of life. Like everyone else I have faced my share of struggles and my personal path has inspired me to become a counsellor and offer help and support to others. I have discovered some things that helped me, and maybe they can help you too.
I am a qualified counsellor and committed to walk alongside you and support your journey of self discovery and growth. I was born in Germany and immigrated to New Zealand in my early twenties. Shaped by cultural transitions and enriching experiences I have crafted a home here for myself and my family.
I have a passion for music, dance, and nature, and love spending time with family and friends. If I have a quiet moment at home you will find me with a book in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, a wonderful way for me to find calm and comfort.
My approach is gentle and calm. I create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space that allows you to bring and explore whatever you feel comfortable with. I tailor my approach to your specific needs and you will decide the pace that works best for you.
I believe that the counseling process is not about providing answers, but rather about collaboratively uncovering the answers that already exist within you. It's a journey of self-exploration, helping to unravel the intricacies of thoughts and emotions, and shining a light on the unseen aspects of your inner world.
I will support you in understanding what might lie underneath your difficulties and together we will identify strategies to help you move forward.
Your challenges can become opportunities for growth, an opportunity to journey towards self-acceptance. My intention is to create a space for you where you can find this acceptance and cultivate a relationship with yourself where all parts of you are welcomed, understood and allowed to be there.
If you resonate with my approach and find yourself grappling with a challenging situation, persistent unhelpful behavior patterns, trauma, depression, ongoing anxiety, or a feeling of inner imbalance, engaging in counseling could be a valuable step toward improving your well-being.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I welcome a 15 minute free phone conversation, which allows us to connect and for you to determine whether you feel comfortable to engage with me.

I work with clients aged 20 and up, inviting individuals from all walks of life and celebrating the diversity that each person brings to the counselling process.
Sometimes life’s journey can be very challenging. Being able to pause, reflect, and talk to another human being during times of struggle can be the first step toward positive change. Counseling will offer you a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to show up as you are. All parts of you are welcome in counselling, the sad ones, the shy ones, the angry ones, and many more…together we will get to know them, and as we do so you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and what might be lying underneath your presenting issues.
