Would you like help for issues such as stress, anxiety, fears,  depression, addictions, or the effects of trauma?

Are you finding it hard to sleep, engage in activities during the day or finding it hard to cope at work?

Do you suffer from pain which stops you engaging in activities and impacts on your daily life?

Vibrant Mind aims to empower individuals to achieve their goals, so they can live a life that is meaningful and purposeful.

I'm so glad you're here, I know it takes a huge amount of courage to begin searching for a therapist or counsellor. Vibrant Mind offers practical counselling, Brainspotting (developed from EMDR), Havening Techniques® and Emotional Freedom technique (EFT tapping) therapy services in Christchurch New Zealand and online sessions. 

Working in the area of trauma and mental health I found clients would continue to experience symptoms and talk therapy was taking a long time to make changes the individuals were wanting in their lives. During my research I discovered the new trauma therapies that really work. I found out about psychosensory therapies and have found Havening Techniques, Brainspotting and EFT tapping helps individuals heal from their past and offer even quicker and more profound healing.

If you are looking for support to learn strategies and tools to help day to day life feel easier,  then I can provide the assistance you need. Individuals find the therapies I use very effective and work quicker than typical talk therapy.  Brainspotting (developed from EMDR), Havening Technique and Emotional Freedom technique (EFT tapping)  can help you release issues and blocks, support you to grow to feel stronger, lighter and clearer. 

I feel privileged and grateful to be able to attune with you in your times of distress and confusion. I would like to support you to learn self-love and find the insights and wisdom to improve your life and wellbeing.  This will allow you to connect more consciously within yourself and in your relationships.  Through the therapy journey I aim to help you to release the effects of conflict, stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief and trauma, chronic pain and PTSD.

I can assist you to:

  • Feel more freedom and more compassion with yourself

  • Create strong relationships with friends, family, co-workers, and your partner

  • Experience relief from anxiety, worry, or depression

  • Overcome the impact of trauma and PTSD

  • Find a career that’s more meaningful

  • Experience emotional growth and transformation 

  • Live your whole life with more ease, confidence, and courage

  • Feel pain free to engage in activities you love and enjoy
