Averil Lagerman

I currently have some daytime availability for new individual clients, and a waitlist for couples clients. 

Hi, I’m Averil. I’m an experienced, registered counsellor in private practice in Birkenhead on the North Shore, Auckland. Visit my personal website for lots more information, my availability, and easy online booking.

I work with adult individuals and couples (18+) of all ages, and particularly enjoy working with those in their 20s – 30s as well as the young-at-heart. If you’re having trouble with anxiety, struggling with self-worth or relationships, or in the process of making decisions and life changes, I’m here to help you figure it out.

I’m an action-oriented therapist, so I don’t only listen, I send clients home with tools and techniques to use between sessions.

For individuals I offer both short-term counselling for specific issues, and longer-term therapy for deeper insight into your past and present, personal growth and change.

I have specialist training in couples work and am New Zealand’s only certified Relational Life Therapist, a modern and direct approach developed by renowned therapist Terry Real that targets long-lasting, meaningful change.

Being a human isn’t easy, but there are ways to make it smoother, happier, and more fulfilling. With compassion, commitment, and a little humour, let’s work through the issues you are facing now and build you up to feel confident in your future.
