Masha Broadbent – Provisional Member of NZAC Hi, I’m Masha. I’m a counselor committed to helping people grow and thrive. I hold a Bachelor of Health Science in Counseling from AUT, where I received training in a range of therapeutic approaches. I’ve spent over two years working with children (ages 6-11), adults, and couples. I focus on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and empowered. My approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you’re the expert on your own life. I draw on tools like Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Imago Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Interactive Drawing Therapy (IDT) to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings. I also enjoy using creative methods like sand tray and play therapy, especially with younger clients, to help them express themselves in fun and meaningful ways. In addition to my work with children and individuals, I’m passionate about supporting couples to improve communication and build stronger, more supportive relationships. I use Imago conversation techniques to help couples connect and understand each other better.
