Kia ora,
I’m a counsellor, author, and the founder of Hart Space — a place created to support emotional wellbeing, connection, and healing for children, adults, and families. Hart Space has branches in Gisborne and in Motueka.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that people thrive when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, grief, parenting challenges, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you are welcome here.

Our Services:

Individual Counselling Sessions
Katy works with children, adolescents and adults and is available for online and in-person counselling.

Counselling in Schools
Hart Space provides therapeutic support in our local schools.

Professional Supervision
Clinical Supervision is a structured, supportive process that allows professionals - particularly those in health, social care and mental health settings - to reflect on their work, enhance their practice, and maintain their wellbeing.

Alongside counselling, I am passionate about emotional education, nervous system awareness, and creating resources that support both children and the adults who care for them.
