Experience lasting change, not just temporary relief
Your emotional health is at the heart of all we do, using evidence-based tools you can trust.
Kia ora,
I provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel calmer, stronger, and more confident.
With the right support and tools, meaningful change is possible.
I can support you with:
- Counselling or therapy to help with anxiety, panic attacks, stress, or low mood
- Support to recover from emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress, or other trauma
- Support for those affected by narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationship dynamics
- Support to overcome relationship betrayal, breakup, grief, loss, a significant diagnosis, or another major life transition
- Support to rebuild confidence and feel more like yourself again
Compassionate, non-judgemental support in a safe space
Kia ora, I’m Heather Todd, a Holistic Counsellor.
I’ve been supporting clients with their emotional health in private practice since 2006. I help people feel more at ease within themselves, rather than stressed, stuck, or overwhelmed.
My approach combines practical, evidence-based techniques with a deep respect for your unique experiences and needs.
Hard to talk about it?
If your issue feels too painful or private to talk about, don’t worry. The support I provide is trauma-informed and client-centred, which means:
- you’ll never have to share more than you’re comfortable sharing
- you’ll have choice and control over how we work together
- no matter what you’re working through, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you
Evidence-based approaches you can trust
In our sessions, we use a range of evidence-based and trauma-sensitive approaches to support meaningful change. These approaches can help you move forward with greater peace, self-trust, and more clarity.
Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
A mind-body therapy that supports nervous system regulation and helps process emotional pain, without requiring you to revisit traumatic experiences.
HeartMath® techniques
Simple, science-backed tools and strategies to help you regulate stress, build emotional resilience, create inner balance, and stay present and clear-headed.
Energy psychology and other somatic techniques
These are approaches that work with subconscious patterns and support emotional healing for deep and lasting change.
A supportive place to begin
You don’t have to keep pushing through or coping on your own. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally regulated, even when life feels challenging.
I offer online counselling and therapy, using evidence-based approaches to support emotional healing and wellbeing. Sessions are available throughout New Zealand and Australia, with in-person HeartMath® sessions available in Lower Hutt International sessions are available by arrangement.
