Lorraine | Counsellor - Supervisor

Counselling & Supervision Motueka

My name is Lorraine.

I am a registered counsellor and supervisor, with over 20 years experience. I currently provide these services via online platforms, or in the wider Motueka area by arrangement.

I work with compassion and humour, using encouragement and empowerment to make my client feel at ease.

Seeing the client as the expert on their own life, I work alongside them to identify issues causing distress, highlight their strengths and identify areas that need change.

I have family in Auckland and the UK, I’m married and have an adult daughter.

When I have free time I love to sail and am a registered Day Skipper. The outdoors is my happy place - sailing, walking, cycling and swimming.

Counselling Services

I spend time developing the counselling relationship to build up trust and respect.

I use a variety of approaches to build resiliency, to increase a sense of well-being and to learn new skills to overcome adversity.

Approaches include Client Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Holistic Models of Wellbeing, Integrative Counselling, Solution Focused.

Supervision Services

I believe that Supervision should be affirming and restorative.

To this end I work alongside supervisees to respectfully explore the safety and effectiveness of their practice, encouraging them to share their strengths and vulnerabilities.

In particular, I focus on professional and personal growth, as well as monitoring my supervisee’s health and wellbeing to guard against professional overload or burnout.

I mostly supervise counsellors and people within the education profession, but welcome enquiries from other workplaces.

I you would you like to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me.
