Kia Ora....
Welcome, I'm Lisa
New Zealand Registered Social Worker and mum of two, supporting mothers through the raw, beautiful, and often complex journey of matrescence "a significant life transition into and through motherhood, touching every part of life".
My work centres your emotional wellbeing, offering individual counselling in a calm and confidential space, because making sense of motherhood isn’t meant to happen in silence or alone.
Whether you’re contemplating parenthood, currently pregnant, or navigating postpartum and early motherhood, support is available.
WHAT IS MATRESCENCE?
Matrescence refers to the profound emotional, physical, social, and identity changes that unfold as we move into and through motherhood.
COUNSELLING SUPPORT
Maternal Wellness counselling offers a safe, confidential space to explore the emotional and identity changes of motherhood, during pregnancy, postpartum and early motherhood.
Sessions meet you where you are at, supporting you through this deeply transformational season of life with understanding, care, and guidance, tailored to your individual needs.
THE SPACE I CREATE FOR CLIENTS
Working with me means entering a space where your unique motherhood experience is honoured.
I offer gentle, grounded counselling and guidance helping you make sense of your matrescence with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
You are welcome to explore your vulnerabilities without judgment or shame.
This is NOT:
A space to “fix” you......you are not broken.
KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS
"When I started experiencing postnatal depression, I was scared to talk about it, I was ashamed. Working with Lisa, I learnt tools to help me cope, breathe, talk about my feelings, and connect with my baby".
- Mariana
"Lisa gave me her undivided attention, beautiful wisdom and I felt fully held, heard and supported. After each session, I felt lighter and more clear on what steps I needed to take to support me and my relationships."
- Hannah
"After giving birth, I struggled with anxiety, triggered by sleep deprivation. My sessions with Lisa truly saved me - I felt grounded and clearer after each session. Every mother deserves this kind of care."
- Amelia
