Kia ora, my name is Marianne.
Originally from Wellington, I now call the beautiful Tasman region of the South Island home. I enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle and love spending time with my family, including our two much-loved horses.
As a qualified counsellor with over eleven years of experience in private practice. I specialise in trauma-informed therapy, including equine-assisted therapy.
I have supported clients through a wide range of challenges, including trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and bereavement by suicide.
My personal and professional experiences have deepened my appreciation for the importance of compassionate support during life’s most difficult times.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and collaborative space where we can explore your current situation, build insight, and develop practical skills and strategies to help you navigate the challenges you are experiencing and to reconnect with meaning and purpose.
I work with adult clients and offer in-person, online, or by phone sessions.
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio.
If you feel I might be a good fit to support you through this difficult time, I look forward to hearing from you.
