Kia ora, I’m Nathanael.

I’m a counsellor based in Porirua, working with clients across Wellington and throughout New Zealand (online). I am a provisional member of NZAC.

My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience — particularly in neurodiversity, identity, and navigating systems that don’t always feel like they fit.

I aim to offer a counselling space that is warm, grounded, and real. A place where you don’t need to mask, perform, or have everything figured out before you arrive.

YOU MIGHT BE FEELING…

You might be searching for counselling in Porirua or Wellington because you’re:

• Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burnt out
• Struggling with depression, anger, or emotional ups and downs
• Navigating life as a neurodivergent person (ADHD, autism, sensory overwhelm)
• Finding relationships or communication difficult
• Processing trauma or difficult past experiences
• Wanting support with parenting, especially with neurodivergent children

Or there may just be a sense that something isn’t quite right.

There’s space here for whatever you’re carrying.

HOW I CAN HELP

I offer counselling that allows you to slow things down and explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

Together, we can:

• Understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviour
• Develop ways to manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
• Process trauma safely and at your pace
• Explore identity, meaning, and direction
• Strengthen relationships and communication

Over time, this can lead to:

• Feeling more grounded and less reactive
• Greater clarity about yourself
• Increased confidence in how you move through life
• SPECIALIST COUNSELLING AREAS
  Neurodivergent counselling (ADHD, autism)
  Anxiety counselling
  Depression support
  Trauma counselling
  Anger and emotional regulation
  Parenting support (including neurodivergent children)
