A coach is NOT a therapist.

A coach is more like a knowledgeable, encouraging, professional friend who knows how to listen and ask the right questions to help you take steps toward reaching your goals.

I'm here to help you identify what helps you feel alive and happy and to grow in that direction!

What I offer

I specialise in relationships, helping clients build happier, healthier connections with themselves and others.

I frequently work with individuals and couples who aren't necessarily well-supported in traditional spaces, and I am committed to trauma-informed, kink-friendly, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and polyamory-supportive coaching practices and philosophies. 

Sessions are available online or in person (in Ōtautahi/Christchurch). Choose what works best for you—whether that’s connecting from the comfort of your own space (on Zoom or Whatsapp) or sitting down for a face-to-face conversation in a warm, private setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly asked questions about relationship and uncoupling coaching in New Zealand
1What is relationship coaching?
Relationship coaching is a forward-focused, practical form of support that helps individuals or couples improve communication, navigate challenges, clarify decisions, and build healthier patterns in their relationships. Unlike counselling or therapy, relationship coaching focuses on present dynamics and future goals rather than diagnosing or treating mental health conditions.
2How is relationship coaching different from couples counselling or therapy?
Relationship coaching and counselling can overlap, but they are not the same. Counselling or therapy often focuses on healing past wounds, addressing trauma, and treating mental health concerns. Relationship coaching focuses on skill-building, insight, accountability, and conscious choice-making in the present. Many people choose relationship coaching when they want practical tools for communication and conflict; support navigating separation or relationship transitions; help clarifying whether to stay, change, or leave a relationship; a non-pathologising, strengths-based approach.
3Who can benefit from relationship coaching?
Relationship coaching can support: individuals wanting to improve their relationships or dating patterns; couples navigating conflict, disconnection, or change (including opening from monogamy, swinging, ethical-non-monogamy, polyamory); people considering separation or conscious uncoupling; Queer, LGBTQIA+, and non-traditional relationships; people wanting to build healthier communication and boundaries. You don’t need to be “in crisis” to benefit. Many clients come for clarity, growth, and preventative support.
4Do you work with couples, individuals, or both?
Relationship coaching can be done with individuals, couples, or polycules. A good relationship coach will identify the best way to support across the relationship ecosystem. This may mean meeting one-on-one and then combined sessions as needed so that everyone has support and structure to show up fully and safely. Some people come alone to work on communication skills; relationship patterns; boundary-setting; decision-making about a relationship. Others attend as a couple to improve understanding, repair trust, or navigate change together.
5Is relationship coaching confidential?
Yes. Relationship coaching sessions are confidential, within the limits of the law and ethical practice in New Zealand. Confidentiality expectations will be clearly explained before or during your first session.
6Do you offer relationship coaching online in New Zealand?
Yes. Online relationship coaching is available throughout New Zealand via secure video sessions. Online coaching allows clients to access support from anywhere in NZ, maintain privacy and convenience; and attend sessions together or individually from different locations Many clients find online coaching just as effective as in-person sessions.
7How long does relationship coaching take?
The length of coaching varies depending on your goals. Sometimes one session is all that a client needs around a specific issue or decision! Some clients come for a short series of sessions (e.g. 3–6 sessions) for clarity or skill-building. Others decide to draw on ongoing support over several months. Still other clients might schedule appointments as needed over time, dipping in and out.
8What issues can relationship coaching help with?
Relationship coaching can help with communication breakdowns; conflict and recurring arguments; trust and repair; boundaries and emotional labour; intimacy and connection; identity changes and life transitions; and navigating non-monogamy or queer relationship dynamics. If you’re unsure whether coaching is the right fit, you can ask before booking on a free discovery call with the coach.
9Is relationship coaching right for queer or non-monogamous relationships?
Yes. Relationship coaching can be inclusive of queer, LGBTQIA+, and non-monogamous relationships. A good relationship coach works without assumptions, preconceived judgements, or moral dogma about gender roles, relationship structures; or sexual orientation or identities. The focus is on consent, communication, and values rather than “one-size-fits-all” models.
10Is relationship coaching covered by ACC or health insurance in New Zealand?
Relationship coaching is generally not covered by ACC or health insurance in New Zealand, as it is not a clinical mental health service. Coaching is usually self-funded.
11How do I know if a relationship coach is right for me?
Choosing a relationship coach is personal. You may want to consider their training, background, experience, and former clients' reviews; whether they work with your relationship structure or identities; their communication style and values; and whether you feel safe, respected, and understood by them. Many coaches offer an initial consultation to help you decide.
12How do I get started with relationship coaching?
You can usually get started by: 1. Booking an initial consultation 2. Discussing your goals and concerns 3. Deciding together with your coach on next steps. If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to reach out with questions before booking.
