About Lyfespring Counselling Services

Approach

Lyfespring stands out because I bring together Māori, Pasifika, and Western clinical perspectives to create a counselling approach that is deeply relational, culturally grounded, and trauma‑informed. I honour the whole person, their whakapapa, identity, wairua, body, and lived experience, while offering evidence‑based therapeutic support. My practice centres safety, consent, and empowerment, ensuring survivors of sexual harm, trauma, AOD/PG issues, and emotional distress receive care that is both clinically sound and culturally meaningful.

Here at Lyfespring Counselling Services, I work with the deep, long‑term effects of emotional neglect, relational trauma, and unsafe environments, helping clients rebuild trust, connection, and self‑worth.  I navigate from a Pasifika, Maori & Western Clinical Perspectives in Sexual Abuse, Trauma & Harm Recovery.

Purpose of Serving

I'm here to support:

  • ACC Sensitive Claims: Survivors needing guidance through the ACC process and a therapist who understands the emotional, cultural, and systemic challenges involved.
  • People Experiencing AOD or Problem Gambling‑Related Harm: Individuals whose experiences with alcohol, drugs, or gambling are connected to trauma, stress, shame, or coping patterns. Lyfespring supports clients to understand the underlying drivers of these behaviours through a compassionate, non‑judgemental, trauma‑informed lens.
  • Those seeking online sessions for convenient and accessible support.
