Emma Martins Bennett

From The Heart Counselling

Welcome, I am Emma, and I invite you into my tranquil Waimauku sanctuary—a space dedicated to ensuring you feel deeply heard and held.

My work is anchored in professional excellence, backed by a Bachelor of Applied Counselling and provisional NZAC membership to guarantee ethical and secure care. With expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I integrate creative arts, neuro-diverse insights, gender-affirming practices, and somatic trauma-informed methods tailored to your personal frequency. While I draw inspiration from nature and animal-assisted therapies, my primary focus remains on fostering a nurturing atmosphere where your natural healing can unfold.

I am also actively working toward specializing in ACC sensitive claims support, neurodiversity support, gender identity and couples therapy remaining steadfast in my commitment to walking beside you with genuine empathy and professional warmth.

In our couples counselling Wayne Naish and I, work alongside you as a team to nurture your connection. We find that our dynamic strengthens the work and can offer further insight and support for both of you. Within this gentle space, we walk with both of you.
