I’m Sarah I’m an Aucklander, although I’ve also lived in Christchurch and Wellington, the UK and briefly in Spain. As well as private counselling, I’ve also worked as an alcohol and drug counsellor for a government agency, and as a counsellor for students at an Auckland tertiary education institution. I love amateur garden projects, all libraries, and poems - this is a favourite. As a kid, I remember being baffled by the world’s busy-ness, wishing everybody would just sit still and listen. Now I know first-hand what it is to feel stressed and unable to be still. But my passion for slowing down, gaining perspective and really experiencing what’s happening remains. Whether that’s savouring the good, or stopping ‘numbing’ long enough to process grief, loss, confusion, or even just exhaustion. I love to help others transcend the daily ‘noise’ and pay attention to what’s really happening. In the counselling room, I can help you to untangle what is causing you stress or pain, and together we can choose tools that feel right for you to build a path to a healthy, connected and ‘right’ life. I want to help you feel like yourself - and for that to be great! https://www.focuscounselling.co.nz/location daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://www.focuscounselling.co.nz/home daily 1.0 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc4a5e8e6237f7bed4b409e/1574981352274-19K4EI9AOEF1523GC28R/fullsizeoutput_1177.jpeg Home - Welcome. Online and in-person appointments available. Focus counselling is about supporting you to focus on what’s happening for you, and to discover what will help. This noticing; paying deep, compassionate and curious attention to your inner world without judgement, reveals pathways through suffering, and often brings its own innate healing. Sometimes we just need to be heard. If you are struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, relationships, employment stress, addiction, grief, or are just ‘feeling stuck’, I can walk with you into the still place where problems unravel, and help you to work with what’s there. When you’re ready, call for a free conversation about how we can work together. https://www.focuscounselling.co.nz/home-1 daily 0.75 2019-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce592c8732098000152407a/1558724171005-TU51L0OZV7OUNYCAVJGE/static1.squarespace-2.jpg Home - Yoga Aerobics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce592c8732098000152407a/1558723932145-HJ8HKUISR89GJ9KM604C/image-asset.jpeg Home - Instructor Training https://www.focuscounselling.co.nz/book-a-class daily 0.75 2019-11-15
