Whether you&#8217;re facing anxiety, relationship struggles, burnout, grief, or life changes, this is a space to slow down, reflect, and feel heard without judgment. Together, we&#8217;ll work in a way that fits you. <a href=\"https:\/\/thechangenavigator.co.nz\/index.php\/ifs-brainspotting-somatic-sandtray-play\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"342\">More information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When stress and anxiety won\u2019t switch off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your <strong>mind is always racing<\/strong>. Even rest feels hard. We work with the brain, body and nervous system to calm what\u2019s beneath the surface, to not just manage anxiety but truly shift it. You can feel peace again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you\u2019ve lost touch with yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You hold everything together but inside, <strong>you feel disconnected and exhausted<\/strong>. Through understanding all parts of you and using creative tools like SandTray (see More Information), we reconnect with the parts of you that need care. The real you is still in there. Let\u2019s find it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When grief feels too heavy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person, a dream, an expectation: a part of life is gone and <strong>it hurts<\/strong>. I offer a quiet, grounded space where you can grieve at your own pace. Together, we\u2019ll help you carry your loss with more compassion and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you\u2019re tired of just surviving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re managing, but barely. <strong>You want more than coping<\/strong>; you want to feel alive. With deep brain and body-based tools, we go beyond talk to support real change. Thriving isn\u2019t just a dream. It\u2019s your next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the past won\u2019t stay in the past<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve moved forward, but <strong>certain memories still pull you back<\/strong>. Using approaches like Brainspotting and Somatic work, we gently help your body release what words alone can\u2019t. You don\u2019t have to stay stuck &#8211; healing is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When anger affects you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can&#8217;t get past frustration, irritability or rage<\/strong>, and it&#8217;s affecting your opportunities, relationships and enjoyment of life. These emotions can be a justified response to external pressure and boundary violations, but they often come from somewhere deeper. Let&#8217;s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2c90304e wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#045cb533\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Session Length and Cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">50 minutes $130.00 (plus GST) at North Shore rooms or online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondering if I might be the right person to walk alongside you on this journey?
