About Jayne

With 25 years of counselling experience, I bring a wealth of expertise and a deep commitment to supporting people in creating well-being and positive change. My career began in health before moving into counselling, and I have worked extensively in non-government organisations.

I held a clinical lead and management role with Relationship Aotearoa for nine years in the lower North Island, and also provided therapeutic support in hospice settings. For the past 20 years, I have supervised professionals across health, justice, management, legal, and counselling sectors. I also offer Employment Assistance Programme (EAP) services, for workplace issues or personal challenges.
