Approach
I am a therapeutic practitioner passionate about supporting people to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves and those they love. I know that reaching out for support takes courage. Often, people contact me when they’ve tried everything they can think of and still feel stuck, worried, or exhausted. You don’t have to do this on your own.
I see therapy as a journey of discovery and healing. I provide a calm, compassionate space where people can unpack what’s been weighing on them. My role is to walk alongside clients helping them build insight, develop emotional tools, and rediscover hope.
In our work together, you’ll find a calm and compassionate space where you can be yourself — without judgement or expectation. I value authenticity and believe that therapy should feel safe, grounded, and collaborative. My focus is on understanding what matters most to you, helping you build insight, and supporting you to make sense of your experiences in ways that feel manageable and hopeful.
I bring warmth, humour, and humanity to my sessions, alongside clinical expertise and structured therapeutic models. I believe deeply in people’s capacity for change and in the power of relationships to restore connection and meaning. Whether we’re exploring trauma, grief, mental health, eating concerns, or family patterns, my approach is always centred on respect, curiosity, and care.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing — for yourself, your child, or your whānau — I invite you to reach out. Together, we can explore what’s been holding you back and work toward creating a life that feels lighter, stronger, and more connected.

About us
Hanarosetherapy is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective counselling services in Masterton (and online).
As a social worker and therapeutic practitioner, I bring a warm, practical, and evidence-based approach to therapy. I have specialised in supporting children, young people, and adults who are navigating trauma, grief, behavioural challenges, harmful sexualised behaviours, neurodiversity, and a range of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
I draw from trauma-informed, attachment-based, and strength-focused models, ensuring that therapy is grounded in safety, trust, and collaboration. My approach is not one-size-fits-all — I tailor each session to the unique needs, age, and goals of the person or whānau I’m working with.
For children and adolescents, therapy often begins with building connection and emotional safety. I use creative, developmentally attuned methods to help young people explore their thoughts and feelings in ways that make sense to them. This might include play-based work, narrative therapy, or structured interventions from the Good Way Model for addressing sexualised or harmful behaviour. My focus is always on understanding the function of behaviour, supporting accountability, and helping young people develop healthier coping strategies and self-awareness.
For adults, therapy may focus on unpacking trauma, managing anxiety or low mood, addressing disordered eating patterns, or exploring the impact of grief and family relationships. I integrate psychoeducation and practical tools to help clients better understand their emotions, body responses, and thinking patterns. Together, we work toward developing emotional regulation, building self-compassion, and fostering change that feels sustainable and real.
I also offer support for parents and caregivers, helping them understand their child’s needs, manage behavioural challenges, and strengthen relationships through attuned communication and consistency. My practice honours the complexities of family life — recognising that healing happens not just within individuals but within relationships and systems.
Neurodiversity is another key focus of my work. I support individuals and families to understand and embrace differences in thinking, learning, and feeling. This includes helping clients navigate challenges such as sensory sensitivities, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation while celebrating the strengths that come with neurodivergent identities.
When working with clients struggling with eating disorders or disordered eating patterns, I take a gentle, non-judgmental approach that focuses on the underlying emotions and life experiences contributing to distress. My aim is to help clients rebuild a positive relationship with their body and self, moving toward balance and self-acceptance.
No matter the presenting issue, my role is to walk alongside you — offering clarity, compassion, and tools for change. I believe that healing begins in a space of understanding, and that even small steps forward can create meaningful transformation.
