Finding clarity and direction

Counselling services

Offering individual counselling for adults (18+) tailored to support your unique needs both in person and online. 

How I Practice

You are at the heart of our work together. Drawing from a practice grounded in a person-centred approach, creating a relaxed, non-judgmental space, where you can feel safe being yourself, free to explore whatever brings you to counselling.

Counselling unfolds at your pace. I listen closely, walk alongside you, and support you to deepen understanding, explore your challenges, discover strengths, strengthen self-trust, and make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Why choose Robyn Thomas Counselling?

I offer qualified and empathetic counselling services in Christchurch, New Zealand. A member of NZAC, my qualifications include a Bachelor of Health Science - Psychology, Postgraduate Diploma in Health Science - Endorsed in Health Behaviour Change, and a Bachelor of Counselling. I'm dedicated to providing a supportive and professional environment for your personal growth.

My aim is to offer a calm, authentic relationship where you can feel genuinely heard and supported.

My approach

I believe that each person knows themselves best. You bring your own wisdom, experiences, and strengths, and my role is to honour that by tailoring our work to who you uniquely are. I offer a calm, collaborative space where you can explore what you need at your own pace and begin to trust your inner knowing.

My practice is grounded in a person-centred foundation and integrates tools that support meaningful, sustainable change.

This includes Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems–informed work, trauma-informed principles, and creative therapeutic approaches when helpful.

Together, these ways of working help you deepen self-awareness, navigate emotional experiences safely, and move toward the life you want with greater clarity, trust, and confidence.
