Book a SessionAbout Jane
Kia ora, I'm Jane. Originally from the UK, I moved to New Zealand with my family in 2003 and have made North Canterbury my home.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked for many years in early childhood education. This experience gave me a strong understanding of child development and helped shape the warm, playful and creative way I connect with tamariki and rangatahi. Today, I support children, teens, adults and families. I offer a person-centered, neurodiversity-affirming approach, using conversation, play and creative expression to help each person feel comfortable, understood and able to work at their own pace.
My aim is to create a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you or your child feels heard, accepted and supported. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable, building understanding, confidence and practical ways forward that reflect each person's individual needs and strengths.

Relationships can become strained when communication breaks down, circumstances change or people begin to feel unheard. Family counselling provides a neutral, supportive space to understand different perspectives, improve communication, strengthen connection and work towards positive change together.

Jane welcomes families with kindness and compassion. Her many strategies have proven to be very effective in dealing with my child's mental health challenges. Jane's approach to health and well-being allows my child to enjoy her passion for art and creativity while discussing any concerns she has without being aware that she is doing so. I would highly recommend Jane to families in need as my child and I continue to benefit from her experience.

My daughter has been attending Room to Reflect every fortnight for the past almost two years, and she absolutely loves her visits with Jane. Jane creates a space that is welcoming, fun, and inclusive, always tailoring her approach to meet each individual's needs. She is patient, kind, and professional. We couldn't ask for more, and appreciate all that Jane does in supporting our daughter.

Jane at Room to Reflect is wonderful. She creates a warm, welcoming space and connects with genuine compassion and understanding. Her sessions encourage creativity and she builds strong, trusting relationships. Jane has been especially supportive of teen social wellbeing, helping navigate friendships, confidence, and emotional growth. She truly wants to see them succeed, and we're very grateful for her support. Highly recommend.

I never thought I would hear my son talk with excitement about going to counseling but he does. Jane at Room to Reflect has made him feel so comfortable and at ease to talk about the problems he had and is still working on, having the arts and craft was a huge part in getting him to relax and express himself when words were not forthcoming.

Jane has been incredible for my daughter. She looks forward to her weekly sessions and seeing Kobe her GS! Jane has helped in many ways with confidence, anxiety and sense of self. I recommend Jane to all that are seeking help for the child/ren.
