My name is Celia Hall. I am a qualified counsellor in the Whangarei.

In my practice Counselling Whangarei I bring expertise, warmth and experienced counselling for individuals and couples in the Whangarei and Northland region.

A safe and confidential space

All of us can reach a point in our lives where we need some extra support. Counselling and therapy is all about investing in you. Together we find the way forward that is uniquely best for you. My experience covers over 40 years experience in the field.

I offer you a safe, confidential and neutral space where you will be heard and seen for your own individual needs.

I have strong foundation of competency, which I continue to expand upon through training and supervision. I am an accredited and experienced supervisor of other counsellors.

You can expect me to provide you with a professional, confidential and compassionate counselling service.

A way forward

Often we feel alone in our struggles. Talking through our issues with a professional can lead to new understandings and realisations about ways forward and can help lighten the burden.

We will focus on YOU and not follow an agenda set by me. I listen to what matters to you and support you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings.

I understand that to meet with a counsellor can be a daunting thing, particularly if it is your first time in therapy.

My invitation to you is to explore what is bothering you, in a safe and non-judgemental space. Gently together we can bring this to the surface, shine a light on it and allow the shadow to disappear.

Extra support in life

Could you use some extra support in your life? Do you long for more happiness and joy? Do you want to find a way to be at peace in your relationships, with yourself and others? Counselling and therapy can help!

I see a lot of people from the Northland region: Whangarei, Raumanga, Kamo, Tikipunga, Maunu, Onerahi.

Feel free to send me a message. You can raise any questions you have, and tell me a little about your situation.
