Kia ora, my name is Carien (pronounced “Kha-rene”). Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when stress, uncertainty, or trauma begin to take a toll. I offer a compassionate, holistic approach grounded in over 30 years of experience in psychology, education, guidance, and counselling. I work integratively and scientifically, tailoring support to each individual. My areas of focus include overwhelming stress and trauma, with particular expertise in somatic experiencing and nervous system regulation to support emotional resilience and restore a sense of balance and wellbeing.
