Are you looking for a counsellor in Rotorua?
My name is Yvette Atkinson. I am a counsellor, coach and online counsellor in Rotorua.
A healthy mind
A healthy mind requires self compassion. This means reaching out to ourselves with Acceptance- Warmth- Understanding. It is a great act of kindness.
The way we talk to ourselves creates our reality. By engaging in counselling with me you will learn how to respond to painful emotions.
Emotions
Emotions can be our friend. At times that may feel that they are anything but! Being able to explore with curiosity and kindness through these emotions is what I enjoy working with clients. My sense of humour and down to earth approach to life is what you will find when you choose to spend some time with me during our sessions.
Journey to self discovery
I have a friendly, approachable style and enjoy meeting new people with a wide range of needs and backgrounds. Knowing your values and taking action to do what matters – is part of this journey to self discovery.
Types of issues
Most common issues I support people with are grief, trauma, anxiety and depression.
Grief – this is a journey and there is no short cut through grief. Sitting in those feelings (which can be very uncomfortable) is part of healing and adjusting to the new feelings.
Stress/ anxiety – is subjective and can be very debilitating if it’s ongoing. I am a huge advocate of self care and believe in nurturing ourselves so that we can build a positive relationship with ourselves. Self talk will lift us up or tear us down.
If you have any questions or if you would like to share something with me or make an appointment, You are very welcome to send me a message.
