Inger-Ann Fagerland

Kia ora,

as a counsellor I provide a safe, calm space where healing can unfold naturally. My approach is grounded in empathy, gentleness, and respect for each person’s unique journey, drawing on person-centered therapy to honor your experiences and inner wisdom.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. From January 2026 I will have an office for in person counselling, and a dedicated child centered space for play-based therapy.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or family harm, I’m here to walk alongside you to discover your own resilience and capacity for growth.

I integrate evidence-based approaches, including play-based therapy, CBT, and polyvagal theory to support emotional regulation and nervous system healing.

ABOUT ME

I’m an open, gentle, and non-judgemental counsellor who really enjoys building therapeutic relationships with my clients. A a working mother of three, I understand life’s complexities and the importance of having support during challenging times.

Like many people, Covid prompted me to reflect on what really mattered – I realised I wanted to do work that genuinely helped people, so I made the leap into counselling and studied an Manukau Institute of Technology.

My family and I moved to beautiful Waihi a few years ago from Hamilton, and we’ve loved becoming part of this community. Outside of counselling, you’ll find me spending time with my family and our dogs, watching movies or playing board games.
