a sacred space where one can feel safe, grounded, and shielded from external harm or negativity.
As I have started my own private practice, I can guarantee you a safe and welcoming space that I have created myself. I also offer sessions online. For children, I am also willing to travel to their homes to carry out counselling sessions.

I endeavour to provide talk therapies to support you best in achieving good health, “Kia Ora.”
A single style or combination of talk therapies to suit you. As a psychotherapeutic counsellor, I can offer you psychodynamic, person-centred and or CBT talk therapies depending on your individual needs and desired outcomes.
A variety of talk therapies to suit your child’s needs, often carried out through play. Areas I work on vary from; building self-esteem, understanding trauma, dealing with grief and loss, understanding identity to exploring neurodiversity, such as: autism and ADHD. I endeavour to provide a safe space for your child, where they can explore their thoughts, worries and learn more about their unique selves.

Testimonials
“Thank you for all the amazing work you did with my son, who not only grew in confidence but now has the necessary tools to cope with difficult situations. You provided a safe space to talk freely and helped him understand that the feelings he had were normal. Thank you again from both of us.”

Working with Katya has been such a positive and supportive experience for both Scarlett and me. She creates a safe, calm space where Scarlett feels truly seen and supported. She has a wonderfully calm, compassionate way of connecting that instantly puts Scarlett at ease and makes her feel safe and understood. I’ve really noticed how much Scarlett benefits from her time with Katya — she’s gaining confidence, finding new ways to express herself, and feeling more secure in navigating her world.
As a parent, it’s such a relief to know Scarlett has someone so kind, skilled, and trustworthy to talk to. Katya not only supports Scarlett beautifully but also makes me feel included and reassured every step of the way. I’m so grateful we found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for counselling or hypnotherapy.

“Katya was absolutely brilliant with our son. He had facial tics which were exacerbated by anxiety. Somehow she managed to get him to speak honestly about what was bothering him and worked through a particularly delicate situation with him. She empowered him with ways in which to make things better for himself one step at a time. He really looked forward to his sessions with her and even 6 months since he completed his sessions, his tics have stayed under control. We cannot thank her enough”.
