Individual Counselling
Pricing: Sliding Scale, lets have a conversation about what you can afford and set a price that is sustainable for you.
I believe that no matter your circumstances, people deserve access to help when they reach out for it. Therefore, I offer a sliding scale for individual clients, to be discussed privately between you and I.
Whānau Work and Consultation
Pricing: Sliding Scale, lets have a conversation about what you can afford and set a price that is sustainable for you.
If problems occurring within your family/whānau are presenting difficulty in the lives of your family members, we can work together to unpack the problem and move toward understanding and solutions.

Hi there,
My name is Tillie and I’m a registered social worker offering counselling services to our beautiful community here in Ōtepoti - Dunedin. I’m also currently pursuing my Masters in Narrative Therapy which informs the counselling work I do. Originally from California, I came to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2019 and loved it so much, I decided to build my life here.
Simply put, I love people. I am interested in understanding people and hearing their stories. I believe that stories hold immense power and that a great deal of healing can come from telling and re-authoring your own story.
