About Erica

I have been a counsellor in private practice for six years and am passionate about helping people feel good about who they are. I create a safe, confidential and peaceful environment in which to explore their feelings, challenges and goals. I help clients to move towards experiencing a healthier lifestyle, a happier Self and living a life that they love. 

The basis for my therapeutic approach is Psychosynthesis counselling and A Course in Miracles. Psychosynthesis counselling combines western depth psychology and eastern meditative practices incorporating body, mind and spirit (whatever the latter means to the client). I have experience working with issues of grief, trauma, loss of meaning, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, working on a one-on-one basis. I have also had great success in working as the counsellor for an Auckland College of Natural Medicine.

I have a wide range of personal interests and hobbies including studying A Course in Miracles, swimming, gardening, antique collecting, enjoying time with my family, spending time in nature and walking by the sea. I am passionate about meditation and practice it daily.

Personal Statement

I am the mother of three children, one of whom died at age 2 years old, which deepened my spirituality instantaneously, and in a profound way. I began my counselling journey intending to be a grief counsellor but found my passion is in helping anyone who is experiencing loss of meaning or loss of direction in their lives and helping them to find clarity and alignment with their most important values.

Working together, I endeavour to help clients to identify the unhelpful patterns or blocks that are sabotaging their potential and help support them to create new possibilities, enhance resilience and optimism and make decisions that align with what matters to them most.

For those clients who share an interest in spirituality, I am able to assist them to go even further with their healing journey, understanding that a deeper spiritual connection brings clients to greater depths of healing across all issues. My passion has always been a deep inquiry into human nature and spirituality, into what makes us who we are, how we can learn to accept and like who we are. I am interested in assisting clients with finding the most effective ways to tap into their unique potential to live the life they really want to be living with a depth of understanding of who they really are, in their true essence. Of particular personal interest to me in my counselling practice, is to assist clients in connecting with their own spiritual meaning making and fostering a meaningful relationship between themselves and the Divine.

I have a deep interest on spiritual awakening and am an avid student and teacher of A Course in Miracles. My aim is to help clients to create space in order for them to hear their own answers to current difficulties.
