Kia ora! My name is Carien (probably easiest to pronounce it as “Kha-rene”). Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel disconnected from our inner selves and what truly matters. Sometimes it is difficult to navigate life’s complexities, leading to stress and uncertainty. I offer a compassionate, holistic approach combining 30 years of experience in psychology, education, guidance and counselling. Using an integrative scientific approach, I aim to find a unique and individual pathway for each of my clients. I specialise in supporting people through overwhelming stress and trauma, with a special focus on somatic experiencing and somatic regulation. This focuses on building emotional resilience through nervous system regulation. Feel free to contact me and I offer a free 10-15 minute call to determine the best way forward. You are welcome to book via the Clearhead website, where I offer selected slots on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For alternative options, please visit my practice booking link and select the "funded" option, leaving a note that it's for a Clearhead booking: https://www.emotionalhealth.co.nz/bookings
