Tiera | Counsellor
Counselling Papakura - Auckland
Kia ora, I’m Tiera (she/her), a registered counsellor based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
For 15 years, I’ve worked alongside young people and their families, helping them navigate life’s challenges. As a counsellor for the past 7 years, I’ve supported teens and adults in schools, bereavement support, community counselling, and private practice.
My approach is pluralistic, trauma-informed, and tailored to you. I draw from evidence-backed methods to find what works best, ensuring a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.
I’m passionate about inclusivity - I’m a safe and affirming counsellor for LGBTTQIA+ individuals and have experience supporting neurodivergent clients. I also provide wellbeing workshops and trauma-informed training for schools and workplaces.
As a Member of NZAC, I adhere to the highest ethical standards, offering compassionate, professional care. If you're ready to talk it through, I’m here to help.
- Adolescents – Guidance through low mood, depression, social anxiety, school refusal, and finding purpose.
- Parents of teens – Support for navigating your child's mental health challenges.
- LGBTQIA+ and Takatāpui individuals – A safe, affirming space for identity exploration and wellbeing.
- Life transitions – Adjusting to change, whether personal, professional, or relational.
- Relationships & friendships – Navigating conflict, communication, and connection.
- Migrant adjustment – Support for settling into a new culture and overcoming challenges.
- Workplace wellbeing – Coping with stress, bullying, burnout, and setting healthy boundaries.
Online therapy
I use the Zoom platform for all online therapy.Having a private and safe space to talk is important. I encourage clients to use headphones to create further privacy.
