Tabitha Phillips

Counsellor

Counselling can be incredibly useful, supporting personal growth, insight and self awareness. It can help you find new meaning and support change. 

Counselling Services and Approach

Kia ora and hello! I’m a registered counsellor with experience in addressing all kinds of concerns,  including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger management, stress and navigating life transitions. I have a particular interest and experience in assisting men and women who have suffered personal or intergenerational trauma.

Our first session will focus on clarifying what brings you to counselling and working with you to plan a way ahead. I aim to provide a warm, empathetic and supportive space but if you don’t feel we align, I can help you find a different therapist. I am quite straightforward and can be direct if need be.

About Me

I am originally from England and I hold a Masters in Counselling, alongside graduate diplomas in education and psychology earned in New Zealand.  I have volunteered at the Wellington Women’s Health Collective and the Upper Hutt Women’s Centre during my training, and I have many years of experience of working with men and women who have experienced many challenges in their lives and relationships.  

I welcome your enquiry through the email form; and I genuinely look forward to working with you.
