Grant Wattie | Counsellor & Executive Coach When work pressures and life demands are overwhelming — I get it, and I can help. I've spent 20+ years and over 10,000 sessions helping people navigate workplace stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. What I've learned is this: the problems at work are often connected to what's not working at home — and vice versa. When we sort one out, the other usually follows. The good news? You've got far more power to change things than you think. What I'm Really About Real Experience: Married 40+ years, raised a family, run businesses, worked in corporate life — I've lived this, not just studied it. Straight Talk: We'll get clear on what's not working and come up with practical steps to fix it. No endless theory, just results. Complete Confidentiality: Nothing goes back to your employer. What we discuss stays between us. No Judgment: You're not broken. Everyone struggles sometimes — my job is to help you see what's going on and give you tools that work in real life. Common Issues I Help With Workplace Stress: Burnout, difficult colleagues, toxic management, career uncertainty Work-Life Balance: Managing competing demands, setting boundaries, family pressures Relationship Challenges: Marriage strain, parenting stress, family conflict Leadership Pressures: Managing teams, difficult decisions, imposter syndrome Life Transitions: Career changes, divorce, loss, major life decisions Performance Issues: Anxiety affecting work, concentration problems, overwhelm How I Work Quick Start: We'll cut through the noise and get to the heart of the issue fast — usually in the first session. Practical Tools: Strategies you can use on a tough Tuesday afternoon, not just in the counselling room. Flexible Scheduling: Sessions around your work commitments — early mornings, lunch breaks, or after hours. Your Pace: Some people want deep dives, others just need a few tools — we'll go at the speed that suits you. Accessible Options: In-person in Havelock North or secure online sessions worldwide.
