Kia Ora, I am Noa, a certified counsellor living and practicing in Nelson/Whakatu.
I offer a client-led, pluralistic approach to therapy, tailored to meet each individual or couple's unique needs. My practice is grounded in a deep respect for every client’s journey, supporting self-acceptance, self-discovery, and healing from trauma into greater well-being.

With over two decades of experience practicing and teaching yoga, mindfulness, and meditation, I bring a somatic holistic perspective to counselling, integrating mind-body awareness into the therapeutic process. My background includes working with individuals across diverse cultural backgrounds, and I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.
I am also passionate about group work as a tool for growth and transformation.
As a mature practitioner, I bring both professional training and a rich life experience—including parenting, relationships, grief, and immigration—which allows me to connect with clients with authenticity and compassion.

- “I have found that Noa’s counselling was a lifeline for me. I am so appreciative of her time, her manner always made me feel at ease. She provided tools to allow me to help myself & provided a safe sounding board so that I could say out loud the things that needed to be said.”
- “I felt safe to share my Māoritanga with her.”
