Overview

Naomi is an experienced counsellor who has worked across agencies, schools, corporate health, and with ACC, supporting people through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. She believes that real change happens in a safe, warm, and genuine relationship that sees the whole person, not just the problem.

Skills and Experience

Naomi's approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, attachment-informed, and grounded in psychotherapeutic and cognitive-behavioural (CBT) principles. She works practically and relationally, helping people build insight they can act on.
