Ms. Rachel Almeida

I am a passionate counsellor with four years of experience, specializing in person-centered and narrative therapy consistently working through a trauma-informed lens. I support rangatahi (youth) and whānau (families) who have faced challenges such as anxiety, domestic violence, emotional dysregulation, and parental separation, providing a safe space for healing and growth. My experience includes working in schools with both students and teachers, as well as facilitating a parenting program in men’s prisons. In my current role, I am dedicated to helping young people reach their full potential while supporting parents to be the best caregivers for their tamariki. As an advocate for meaningful change, I hold hope for individuals and families, especially during times where it may feel out of reach. I also offer virtual counseling consultations, making it easy for individuals to access support from the comfort of their own home
