Alice LaHatte

Counsellor

I am passionate about supporting tamariki, rangatahi and wāhine, with a strong commitment to advocating for their mana, oritetanga (equity), and ensuring their voices are heard in decisions that shape their wellbeing. I also have experience walking alongside single parents and caregivers, offering a space where themselves and their children feel understood, respected, and genuinely supported. My approach is empowerment driven, trauma‑informed, and grounded in strong ethical practice. I strive to work collaboratively with tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau as they navigate complex systems, always prioritising safety, whakawhirinaki (trust), and open, empowering communication. A feminist lens guides my work, recognising how power, gender, identity, and social structures influence people’s experiences and access to support. I aim to offer sessions that feel safe, practical, and meaningful, a place where people can reconnect with their strengths, reclaim their rangatiratanga (self‑determination), and move toward a life that aligns with their values and aspirations. I am committed to culturally responsive practice and honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, bringing an awareness of bicultural perspectives into the way I support individuals and whānau. If you feel ready to take the next step, he mihi mahana, you are welcome to book a session with me.

Miss Veronika Borocz

Counsellor

I’m Veronika. With over a decade in a client-centred industry, I’ve provided safe, non-judgmental spaces for people to express themselves. Seeing the deep need for mental health support, I transitioned into counselling to offer structured guidance and care. I specialise in supporting people through trauma, addiction, and neurodivergence, helping them navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels right for them. Originally from Hungary, I’ve called Aotearoa home since 2007 and bring a culturally aware and compassionate approach to my practice. I believe in the power of connection and being truly heard. If you're seeking support, I’m here to help.
