Professional counselling in a warm, judgement-free environment. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, or life transitions — you don't have to do it alone.
Walking through the door is the hardest part. Everything after that is about building trust, finding clarity, and moving forward at a pace that feels right for you.
At Haven, we create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgement. Where difficult conversations are met with warmth, not clinical distance. Where healing happens naturally, because you finally feel safe enough to let it.
Meet Sarah →We offer a range of evidence-based approaches, tailored to your unique experience and goals.
One-on-one sessions focused on your personal goals. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, burnout, and life transitions — we meet you where you are.
Rebuild connection and learn to communicate in ways that bring you closer. A safe space where both partners can be heard without blame.
Specialised support for navigating loss in all its forms. There's no timeline for grief — we'll move at your pace, honouring whatever comes up.
I've been in practice for over twelve years, and the thing I keep coming back to is this: people heal when they feel safe. My role isn't to fix you — it's to walk alongside you while you figure out what you already know deep down.
I draw from a range of modalities — person-centred therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy — but I'm guided by what works for you, not what a textbook says should work.
Your first session is about building trust. There's no pressure to dive deep — we start where you're comfortable.
Book your first session online or give us a call. No referral needed. We'll find a time that works for you — in-person in Christchurch or via video call from anywhere in NZ.
This is about getting to know each other. We'll explore what brought you here and what you're hoping to work on. There are no forms to fill out, no clinical assessments — just a conversation.
Based on your goals, we'll create a flexible approach that combines evidence-based methods with what feels right for you. This is your journey — you're always in the driver's seat.
Regular sessions at a pace you choose — weekly, fortnightly, or as needed. Some people come for a few months, others for longer. There's no minimum commitment and no judgement either way.
"I put off therapy for years because I thought I had to be 'broken enough' to deserve it. Sarah made me realise that wanting to feel better is reason enough. I wish I'd started sooner."Anonymous Client
"We were on the verge of separating. The couples sessions gave us a way to actually hear each other again. It wasn't easy, but Sarah made it feel possible."Anonymous Client
No hidden costs. Sliding scale available for those who need it — just ask.
You don't need to have it all figured out before you call. That's what we're here for.
