Tony | Counsellor
Online Counselling & Life Coaching
My name is Tony, and I am an online counselor & Clinical supervisor based in New Zealand.
With over 20 years of experience in social services, I specialise in helping individuals discover their direction in life. My work encompasses complex mental health issues, addictions, co-existing problems, high-risk family harm, and the management of community agencies and teams.
I am:
- Skilled in addressing challenges with a balanced approach, having worked with diverse ethnicities, ages, and backgrounds, including both victims and perpetrators of violence.
- Non-judgmental, as I genuinely believe that everyone aspires to lead a happier life, even if they sometimes feel uncertain about how to achieve it.
- An artist and musician, incorporating art therapy as a means to facilitate healing and self-discovery.
- Full member and accredited clinical supervisor of DAPAANZ, adhering to their code of ethics, and I am ACC registered.
- Committed to a holistic approach that considers all aspects of your life.
I employ various therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual, including mindful cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, hypnotherapy, and Te Whare Tapa Wha, somatic embodyment.
**Counselling Services:**
You're welcome to reach out for:
- **General Counselling:** This can benefit anyone looking to explore their thoughts and feelings or resolve specific issues they’re facing.
- **Life Coaching:** I can help you grow by assessing your current situation, identifying limiting beliefs, and overcoming obstacles. Together, we'll devise a customised action plan to help you achieve your goals.
- **ACC-Funded Counseling:**
Even if you struggle with communication, I’m here to guide you. You will have homework to complete, as the most significant growth occurs outside of our sessions.
Remember, the effort you invest in our work together will determine your progress. It’s not just about attending sessions; it’s about applying what you learn to your daily life for lasting change.
If you'd like to know more or schedule an appointment, please feel free to contact me.

Specialisations and Expertises
I provide support in several key areas:
**Addiction:**
As a registered member of DAPAANZ, I specialise in addressing addiction issues, with a primary focus on alcohol and substances. Whether you aspire to achieve abstinence or aim to make informed choices to reduce harm, I am here to guide you through your journey.
**Anger Management:**
Anger management is not about eliminating anger; rather, it's about learning to recognise, cope with, and express your anger in healthy and constructive ways. It’s a skill that anyone can develop, and there’s always an opportunity for improvement.
**Family Harm:**
I have extensive experience working with families facing low to high-risk harm situations. Before we begin counselling, it is essential to first address any existing risks to ensure a safe environment for all involved.
**Trauma:**
I have a deep commitment to working with both historical and current trauma, and I am ACC funded. My approach utilises a variety of tools to help individuals navigate their circumstances effectively. The primary goals of trauma therapy include:
- Facing the reality of past events without becoming trapped in them
- Reducing or eliminating trauma symptoms
- Shifting focus from the past to the present
- Improving daily functioning
- Raising awareness of hereditary trauma
- Reclaiming personal power
- Overcoming addictions linked to traumatic stress
- Gaining skills to prevent relapse
- Understanding that "the body keeps the score"
- Practicing mindfulness to connect with bodily sensations
- Utilising Brainspotting to facilitate processing
I am dedicated to helping you work through these challenges and reclaim your well-being.
Most common issues I support people with:
- Trauma
- PTSD
- Anxiety
- Relationships
- Transformational change
- Brainspotting
