Counselling and Psychotherapy Richmond NZ
My name is Lea.
With a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology, I am certified in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. A graduate therapist in Integrative Psychotherapy (Hakomi) and am a certified Buddhist chaplain.
With a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology, I am certified in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. A graduate therapist in Integrative Psychotherapy (Hakomi) and am a certified Buddhist chaplain.
Specialising in loss, grief, and end-of-life counselling, I have extensive experience using mindfulness and cognitive behavioural skills therapy for depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and burnout.
I work in a way that is client centred, valuing the clients' lead in exploring their difficulties at their own pace and in their own way - I see my role as a guide in this process.
I also run Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy groups in Nelson and on-line. And coach individuals in the MBCT programme.
I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, mindful and somatic psychotherapy (Hakomi), and non-sectarian chaplaincy counselling.

I strongly recommend Lea
I am extremely fortunate to have had a series of psychotherapy sessions with Lea. She is a sensitive, empathetic and professional therapist who really helped me cope with my family background, medical history and life experiences in a positive way.
I feel privileged to have started this ongoing process with Lea who used her knowledge of psychotherapy and deep understanding of mindfulness to provide me with the tools I needed to become more accepting and positive.

Gentle and respectful
I have been fortunate to enjoy 8 sessions of Mindfulness training with Lea Godfrey. Her approach has always been gentle and respectful. I have learnt strategies to enable me to function more calmly when faced with stressful situations in my everyday life.

Thanks so much
Thanks so much again for a life changing 8 weeks (MBCT). This practice is changing the relationship I have with myself, my thoughts, feelings and my actions and transforming the way I relate to and connect with the world (environment and people) around me every day in surprising ways.

I cherish the time I had with Lea
I found Lea incredibly caring, and she always made an effort to understand me and challenged me in ways that worked for me.
I would have no hesitation to recommend her for anybody that I care about.
I cherish the time I had with Lea; she is a very caring person who has great tools to help others.

Incredibly helpful
Lea showed that she listened carefully to what I said, as she often referred back to points I had made and was able to weave those points back into the conversation.
Lea helped me to feel how my body reacts and where my body reacts. This has proved incredibly helpful outside the counselling sessions and has made me far more aware of my stress and anxiety levels and how to help myself.
