Hello, Kia ora, Im Mel Rigby and Im a counsellor based in New Plymouth, Taranaki. I come from Foxton, grew up in Palmerston North and I whakapapa to Ngati Raukawa ki te Tonga (Horowhenua). I offer face to face counselling in the New Plymouth/ North Taranaki region but I am also an online provider throughout the country. I am available Mon - Thurs 9am - 3pm. I am a counsellor with over 25 years experience in working with adults, children and families in mental health, risk and trauma and I have been in private practice for the past 4 years. I bring a culmination of my learning, my experience and my compassion to work with people in ways that make a difference. I believe everyone has a right to tell their stories in safe places and receive support that is relevant to them.
