Sarah Deering Counselling Service
My name is Sarah Deering. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and have 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges. I am an Advanced Imago Relationship Therapist, a Level 4 Certified Imago Workshop Presenter, and a registered member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors.
I work with people experiencing a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, family conflict, communication challenges, & personal growth. If you are need support as an individual, couple, or family, my aim is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
Reaching out for counselling is a courageous step. It reflects a genuine desire to create positive change, heal from past experiences, strengthen relationships, or navigate current challenges.

About us
SARAH DEERING
I work with many types of problems and can help with individuals, couples or families.
I have expertise in couple therapy, having trained in the most effective ways to increase connection, communication and understanding between each other.
Seeking help is a strength and usually means you are ready and willing to tackle the issues that are currently affecting your life or relationship. You may be struggling with experiences from your past, or needing help with something that has happened recently. Whatever the issue, counselling can be a way of helping you reach a positive outcome so you can feel better about life, relationships, or work problems.
