Marriage can be deeply rewarding, but it can also face seasons of strain, miscommunication, and disconnection. Marriage counselling provides a safe space for both partners to feel heard, understood, and respected.

My role is not to take sides or steer the relationship for you. Instead, I provide the roadmap while you drive the car — helping you identify where you are, clarify where you want to go, and offering practical tools to navigate obstacles along the way. Together, we work on communication, trust, conflict resolution, and emotional connection.

Family life can be complex, especially during times of stress, change, or conflict. Family therapy creates a structured space where each member has the opportunity to be heard and valued. We focus on improving communication, strengthening relationships, and developing practical strategies to support healthier family dynamics, fostering understanding and rebuilding connection. You are unable to book online for this service as it requires a specific process. If you think Family Therapy is something that would benefit you, please email me at anna@renewalcounselling.co.nz. and I can assist you with booking.

Pre-marriage counselling is an opportunity to intentionally strengthen your relationship before marriage. It provides a space to explore communication styles, expectations, values, conflict resolution, and future planning.

You can choose from individual sessions or a 6-session package, which helps couples build a strong foundation for a lasting partnership.

Children and teenagers experience challenges differently from adults and often need a safe, supportive environment to express what they are feeling. I work in an age-appropriate and respectful way, helping young people navigate anxiety, behavioural challenges, emotional regulation, social difficulties, and life changes. Parents or caregivers may also be involved where appropriate to provide consistent support.

Parenting can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Parenting support provides practical guidance and a non-judgemental space to explore challenges you may be facing. Together, we look at strategies to strengthen connection, improve communication, manage behaviour effectively, and build a calmer, more confident parenting approach.

Babies don’t come with a manual, but there are ways to feel more prepared and confident in those early months. Whether you are pregnant or already adjusting to life with a newborn, it’s normal to have questions about how to manage everything that comes with caring for a new baby.

Newborn coaching offers practical support and guidance to help make this stage feel more manageable for you and your family. With over 20 years of healthcare experience and four children of my own, I provide down-to-earth advice and reassurance tailored to your situation.

We can talk about:

• Baby sleep and settling

• Feeding and understanding baby’s cues

• Creating gentle routines

• Managing a windy or unsettled baby

• Looking after yourself during the newborn stage

• Balancing baby with your partner, home, and other children

Babies are very welcome at appointments.
