Counselling Rotorua – Individual & Couples Counselling

I'm Debbie Marie Cunningham (Debs), a counsellor, coach and NLP Master Practitioner based in Rotorua. I offer individual counselling, relationship counselling and coaching to help people work through challenges, gain new perspectives and make positive changes in their lives.

 

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, depression or low self-esteem? Perhaps you're dealing with difficult emotions, relationship problems or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer work for you. Or maybe you're looking for greater clarity about your personal or professional goals.

 

I work with individuals and couples, offering a supportive space to explore what's happening, understand the challenges you're facing and consider new possibilities.

 

My approach is wholistic and solution-focused, drawing on counselling, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and coaching techniques. I believe in supporting people to recognise their own strengths, explore their beliefs and values, and discover ways to move forward.

 

I offer counselling and coaching in Rotorua, with online sessions also available.

Are you ready for change?

Sometimes life presents challenges that leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or unsure about what to do next.

 

You may recognise that something in your life or relationship isn't working the way you'd like, but find it difficult to see how things could be different.

 

My passion is helping people explore these challenges, recognise their potential and discover new possibilities for personal and professional growth.

 

I believe that change begins with becoming more aware of where we are, what matters to us and the patterns that may be influencing our choices.

 

You may have found yourself thinking, "I need something to change" or "I want to explore other opportunities to grow."

 

Counselling can offer an opportunity to look at your situation from a different perspective and consider what your next steps might be.

 

Individual counselling – Support with life's challenges

I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and personal difficulties, including:

 

• Anxiety, fears and panic attacks
• Stress, burnout and feeling overwhelmed
• Depression and low mood
• Low self-esteem and lack of confidence

 

• Grief, loss and difficult life changes
• Anger and difficulties managing emotions
• Trauma and challenging past experiences
• Relationship and family difficulties

 

My approach is to listen to your experiences, explore the difficulties you're facing and support you in finding ways to move forward.

 

I also offer individual coaching for people who want to explore their goals, develop greater self-awareness or make changes in their personal or professional lives.

 

Relationship counselling – Understanding each other better

Relationships can be an important source of happiness and connection, but they can also bring challenges.

 

I work with couples who are experiencing communication difficulties, recurring arguments, trust issues, insecurity, intimacy concerns or other relationship problems.

 

In our sessions, I aim to help you hear and understand each other more clearly, explore the values and beliefs that may influence your relationship, and consider what changes could help you move forward.

 

Whether you want to rebuild trust, improve communication or gain clarity about the future of your relationship, counselling provides an opportunity to explore these questions together.

 

My wholistic and solution-focused approach

I am trained as a counsellor, coach and NLP Master Practitioner. My work draws on different approaches to counselling and personal change.

 

I have a particular interest in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), exploring how our beliefs, values and familiar patterns can influence the way we experience situations and respond to challenges.

 

My approach also incorporates perspectives from Te Ao Māori, recognising the importance of looking at people and their experiences in a wholistic way.

 

I am particularly interested in intergenerational trauma and supporting individuals and whānau to explore the influences of their experiences and family histories.

 

Rather than focusing only on problems, I aim to help you recognise your own resources, consider different perspectives and identify possibilities for change.

 

I believe everyone has their own experiences, strengths and aspirations. My role is to support you as you explore what matters most and decide how you would like to move forward.
