Mental Health & Wellbeing

A space to breathe.

Kia Ora, I'm Tarn. I’m a counsellor and clinical supervisor (dapaanz) with 10+ years experience. I have a background in addiction and mental health, passionate about supporting people to build wellbeing, resilience, and balance in their lives. Having lived throughout Aotearoa, I connect easily with people from many different walks of life. I hold a Degree in Addiction Studies, a Diploma in Te Reo Māori, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Health. I’m also an ACC-registered provider and work in a trauma-informed way, using a range of evidence-based counselling approaches tailored to you. Whether you’re looking to manage stress, improve your wellbeing, or make meaningful lifestyle changes, I’m here to walk alongside you and support practical, sustainable change.

What I offer.

Each service is tailored to your unique needs and delivered with care, confidentiality, and respect for your pace.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions focusing on your personal history, patterns, and goals. A confidential space to explore what matters most.

Clinical Supervision (dapaanz Registered)

Professional supervision for counsellors, AOD practitioners, and helping professionals. This service aligns with the standards of dapaanz, supporting your ongoing professional development and registration requirements. A reflective, confidential space to explore your clinical work, strengthen ethical practice, and navigate the complexities of working with addiction, mental health, and wellbeing. Suitable for students, provisional practitioners, and experienced clinicians seeking growth and support.

ACC Sensitive Claims Counselling

Trauma informed support for those who have experienced sexual harm and who are eligible for ACC support. Focused on safety, empowerment, and healing at a pace that feels right for you.

Grief & Loss Support

Compassionate support for navigating grief, loss, and significant life changes. Whether you are experiencing the death of a loved one, relationship loss, or other forms of change, counselling offers a space to process emotions, honour your experience, and adjust at your own pace.

Anxiety, Depression & Stress Support

Support for managing anxiety, low mood, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we explore underlying patterns and develop practical tools to help you feel more balanced, improve coping, and reconnect with a sense of hope and direction.

Life Transitions

Change — even welcome change — can be disorienting. I can help you navigate career shifts, identity, parenthood, and new beginnings.

My Approach

Healing is not linear.

I draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches and tailor your support to fit. No two paths look the same — and that is precisely the point.
