Hi I'm Ruby, a counsellor based in Christchurch. I work with adult individuals and couples. Although I mainly draw from Person-centered and Solution-focused therapy modalities, I tailor my approach to suit the individual needs and wants of the client. I often integrate aspects of CBT, ACT and polyvagal theory. I have passion and experience working with cultural and neurodiversity, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting issues, low self-worth/confidence, and chronic pain/illness.

With over a decade in schools and private practice, I’ve supported children, adolescents, young adults, and families through life’s challenges, including anxiety, social stress, and family or school-related concerns. My approach is warm, culturally aware, and grounded in practical tools that foster clarity, calm, and confidence. Drawing on a background in child psychology and counselling, I use CBT, mindful play, and relational strategies to tailor each session. Whether it’s a child gaining confidence, a teen rebuilding trust, or a young adult finding their voice, I am here to support meaningful growth and change. If you are looking for compassionate expertise and someone who truly listens, I invite you to book a free 15 minute consultation.

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I am a Registered Social Worker. My path towards counselling began in 2021 after further study in Psychology, when I began counselling teens at risk of homelessness, followed by child and family counselling. I opened my own practice. 'Calm & Co.' in October 2023, where I support children, teens, families and couples in a safe, confidential, empathetic, non-judgmental and calm space. I am a firm believer that people are the experts in their own lives, and I work in a collaborative way to develop strategies that will meet every individual’s unique support needs, whether that takes a structured approach using counselling models and interventions, or providing an understanding ear for people to vent without being judged.
