Averil Lagerman

Kia ora, I'm Averil, an experienced registered counsellor in private practice. I offer in-person sessions in Birkenhead on the North Shore, Auckland and online sessions using Zoom for clients NZ-wide. I enjoy supporting clients wanting to make a change with issues of anxiety, stress, self-esteem, low motivation, and relationship challenges. I work in an action-oriented way, meaning that you'll come away from sessions feeling heard and with take-home insights, techniques and strategies you can apply between sessions. I use approaches including self-compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and motivational techniques to help clients experience tangible positive changes in their lives and mental wellbeing.
