Psychotherapy Tauranga

Kia ora! My name is Carien (kind of pronounced as "Kha-rene"). I offer a compassionate, holistic approach combining 30 years of experience in psychology, education, guidance and counselling. I use an integrative scientific approach to find a unique and individual pathway for each client.

I’m an Existential therapist, and I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy. I like supporting people in activating their connection to themselves and accompanying them through challenging life situations. Additionally, I am drawn to Eastern Philosophy, mindfulness, and interconnectedness.

I'm a compassionate and professional counsellor with about 20 years of experience of helping people. I have successfully treated people with issues that range from minor to chronic problems, such as anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, panic attacks, PTSD, complex trauma, relationship issues, low self esteem, sleep difficulties, stress and parenting issues.

I work fluently in English and also in German.

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.

Hi, my name is Twané. I bridge talk therapy with personalised embodied practices such as mindfulness, breathing, somatic tracking, experiential embodyment through the use of an integrative, body-inclusive psychotherapy model.

I offer confidential empathetic opportunities for people to explain their difficulties or circumstances and then guide them to clarify the issues and explore practical strategies and alternatives for working through these challenges and moving towards satisfactory resolutions.
