Counselling for Individuals and Couples

Meet Claire

I’m Claire Welch, a counsellor offering online counselling for individuals and couples across New Zealand and Australia, with in-person counselling also available on the Hibiscus Coast.

I believe we all carry our own inner wisdom and a real ability to heal. My job is to walk with you while you find it.

I came to this work through my own experience of hard times and healing, and that shapes how I sit with people. I don’t position myself as the expert with all the answers, instead it’s us figuring it out together.

I’m also a wife and a mum to three teenagers, so I know how full and tiring life can get.

I offer a space where you can be yourself, met with curiosity, acceptance and care, and be supported to move through whatever feels stuck.

Individual and Couples Counselling

I offer counselling for individuals and couples who want support through difficult seasons of life. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, anger, stress, or a sense of feeling lost or confused. Counselling gives you a safe place to talk, reflect and understand what is happening beneath the surface.

For couples, counselling can help you slow things down and look at the patterns between you. It can also support better communication, deeper understanding and a more honest way forward.

Sessions are available online or in person on the Hibiscus Coast. You can choose the option that best suits your life.

What you can Expect at Holistic Counselling

Holistic counselling offers a supportive space for individuals and couples to explore life’s challenges with care, curiosity and acceptance. It looks at the whole person, helping you build self-awareness, uncover deeper patterns and move towards healing and lasting change.

A safe space for individuals and couples

Claire offers a warm, accepting space for both individuals and couples to speak openly about what they are facing.

Support for
the whole
person

This approach recognises that the mind, body, spirit, emotions, relationships and life experiences are deeply connected.

A collaborative counselling process

Holistic counselling is not about being told what to do. It is a collaborative process where you are supported to explore your own inner wisdom, strength and lived experience.

Deeper self-awareness

Using Process Work and somatic techniques, I can help bring unconscious patterns, feelings and responses into awareness.

Practical tools for healing and change

Through the counselling process, you can develop tools and resources that come from your own experiences, needs, longings and purpose.

A journey towards wholeness

Holistic counselling supports you as you reconnect with wounded or hidden parts of yourself and begin healing.
