About Heike
I have always been an educator and therapist, and it is my passion to help others re-discover their love for life and within their relationships. I am dedicated to empowering my clients to live their lives fully, joyfully and with love.
I work with warmth and humour and my clients say I am easy to relate to, funny and work effectively.
​
My practice is located in Beckenham, Christchurch where I provide holistic and professional individual counselling and expert couples counselling.
I use my skills and experiences to assist my clients in learning new strategies in their lives to effectively cope with anger, depression, anxiety, trauma or stress of any kind, and to find connection and tenderness in their relationships.
I offer my services face-to-face, as well as through Skype to meet the needs and lifestyles of my clients. I am also available to facilitate couples counselling for clients anywhere in the world.
I am in regular clinical supervision and keep confidentiality at all times.
I have a wide network of couples therapists that I work with and in case of my schedule being full, I am able to refer you to one of my wise and skilful couples counselling colleagues.
