Francois Sylvester
I am a 3rd year student completing my Bachelor of Counselling (3-year degree).
I am trained in Person Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy (NT). These approaches allow for ways of working together to make meaning and sense of the unwanted thoughts and feelings many people experience.
I have a passion for journeying alongside people through counselling and to help them navigate through life’s challenges and consider it a deep privilege to share a welcoming, safe, and honouring space with a person who comes to share their journey with me.

Chris North
Individual Counselling
I have a Bachelor of Counselling and I am a provisional member of NZCCA. In addition, I bring 17 years of working as an Occupational Therapist, together with my life experience as a wife and mother of teenagers, to my counselling practice.
I am passionate about offering a sensitive, safe, non-judgmental and empathic place where people can process problematic issues in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals and couples with a wide range of issues. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches which are found to be effective in helping people identify and deal with issues which cause them to feel trapped in their lives.
