A steady space to talk. Heal and move forward.
Counselling and life coaching with Kimi Ngatai. Gentle, culturally grounded support for the things that feel heavy, uncertain, or ready to change.
You do not need to arrive with the right words.
Counselling can begin with whatever is most present for you. Together, there is time to talk things through, make sense of what you are feeling, and find a way forward that feels true to you.
The work is grounded in careful listening, respect for your story, and practical support that meets you where you are.
A space for what feels present.
Talk it through, gently.
A safe, confidential place to explore stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, loss, or life changes. There is no expectation to have everything explained before you come.
Make room for what’s next.
Future-focused support for people who are ready for clearer goals, practical momentum, and a more confident way to move through change.
Support that considers your whole world.
Alongside contemporary counselling methods, I bring my Māori and Cook Islands heritage into the space. There is room for your wairua, hinengaro, tinana, whānau, and your relationship to the world around you.
The work can draw on cultural modalities such as Te Whare Tapa Whā, Tihei-wā Mauri Ora, Pōwhiri Poutama, and Tivaevae — always with care, respect, and responsiveness to what feels right for you.
Warmth, lived perspective, and qualified practice.
I hold a Bachelor of Applied Counselling (Level 7) from Manukau Institute of Technology. More importantly, I care about providing genuine presence, a listening ear, and practical tools that make a difference in everyday life.
