Parenting Stress - Relationship counselling Southland

Penelope is a Registered Social Worker and Somatic Therapist supporting couples experiencing communication breakdown, emotional distance, conflict cycles, trust ruptures, and the strain of life transitions. Her work integrates evidence-based therapy with somatic and nervous system approaches to support reconnection, emotional safety, and lasting change.

I offer in-person counselling for individuals and couples from a cozy boathouse studio in central Whangarei, also worldwide online counselling in English, Swedish and Estonian. My therapy style is solution focused CBT mixed with other styles I find useful in personal growth. My areas of interest include couples therapy, migration and cultural issues, stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, communication difficulties and self-esteem concerns.

Supporting couples to find understanding, connection, and new ways forward.
