A Lifelong Dream Realised

Stacks Image 1216

I had so much to learn yet!

I first became interested in counselling at the young age of 13. The idea that I could help someone work through their problems appealed to me in a great way. By 15, I was the "class counsellor" at the school I went to at the time. (I shudder to think about some of the "advice" I must have given back then!)

After high school graduation, I studied for church ministry, but counselling was always something I enjoyed as well. While working in various church ministries, I was always called upon to live out this counselling interest as I worked with individuals and families.

In 2010, after hearing of the great need for counsellors in our area, I began further counselling studies at Bethlehem Tertiary Institute in Tauranga, and started Vantage Point Counselling upon completion of my degree.

I consider it a great privilege in joining all kinds of people at crisis moments in their lives. I always believe that, together, we can find a way forward for you to continue on the path you were designed for.
