Counselling Central

Welcome to Counselling Central, located at 253 Pakuranga Road, Auckland, New Zealand. My name is Chris, and I am a dedicated and compassionate counsellor here to support you through whatever challenges you may be facing.

At Counselling Central, we believe in the power of good counselling to facilitate positive change and personal growth. Through our supportive and professional approach, we have witnessed countless individuals overcome difficulties and improve their overall well-being in a relatively short amount of time.

Counselling is more than just talking about your feelings; it involves identifying and modifying patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back, while equipping you with the necessary skills and strategies to live a more fulfilling life. As a counsellor, I have received training in various therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focus, Person Centred Therapy, and Mindfulness. I am dedicated to continuously expanding my knowledge and expertise in order to provide you with the best possible support.

However, it is important to note that research has shown that the key to successful therapy lies in the relationship between the therapist and the client. It is crucial that you feel comfortable and at ease with your counsellor. That is why I strive to create a warm, genuine, and empathetic environment where you can freely express yourself and work towards your goals.

We all experience feelings of anxiety at times, as it is a natural response from our brain's threat-detector system designed to keep us safe. Depression, on the other hand, is a common condition that can be triggered by stressful events or can seemingly appear without any obvious catalyst. Grief, often associated with death, can actually stem from any form of loss. Whether you are a new mother experiencing postnatal depression and anxiety or struggling with relationship issues, I am here to provide you with the support and guidance you need.

Additionally, Counselling Central recognizes the impact of emotional trauma, which occurs when an individual's neurological system becomes overwhelmed by a deeply distressing or disturbing event. If you have experienced such trauma, know that you are not alone, and we are here to help you heal and regain control of your life.

If you are seeking a counsellor who is down-to-earth, accepting, and experienced in life, look no further than Counselling Central. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.
