   Alanna is extremely knowledgeable. She quickly identified our issues in an empathic non judgemental way. She helped us both make sense of everything and gave us a clear practical plan moving forward. Best of all she worked fast, getting us to where we wanted to be faster than either of us expected. My partner especially liked this as he wasn’t looking forward to months of heavy “therapy”. He found the explanations helped him relax and feel confident we could have the happy, connected, fun relationship we both wanted. Alanna gives great, none time consuming, fun tasks to keep things on track as we were worried we’d slide back into old habits like we did when after we went to another therapist. Can’t recommend her more, especially if your partner hates the idea of “therapy” as it’s more like coaching or like a kind of professional development as we both use the things she taught us at work as well.

   Without Janine, I wouldn’t be sitting here today. I initially came to Janine with my ex, thinking our 9-year relationship could still be saved. I truly believed we were just going through a rough patch and that we were partners for life. And the truth is—relationships can be healed, but only when both people are willing to face their inner demons and do the deep work. In our case, that wasn’t happening. I was in love with his potential, not the reality. There were so many lies, and I couldn’t see them for what they were until I started working with Janine. As an entrepreneur, I came in trying to “fix” myself fast. I even asked how much it would cost to just get it done. But after a powerful trauma session, I realized healing isn’t about shortcuts. It takes trust, time, and working with someone who truly understands trauma on a professional level—and Janine does. She helped me uncover a memory I had completely buried from when I was just 5 years old. That one experience explained so much about why I kept holding on to someone who wasn’t emotionally safe or honest. Once that came to light, everything started to change. Today, my life looks completely different. I’ve broken free from that trauma bond, stepped up as a confident team leader, and moved from a flat I once shared with five people into a beautiful home of my own — 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 studies, all with brand new furniture that I’m still furnishing with love. I drive a BMW M4, I’ve cleaned up my social circle, and I can now spot manipulative or dishonest people a mile away. This is my life now — grounded, intentional, and built on self-worth. Janine isn’t just a psychologist—she’s a gem to this community and this country. In New Zealand, you don’t actually need a full degree to call yourself a counsellor, and I’ve seen that firsthand. I tried working with people who had flashy websites and talked a lot, but didn’t offer real depth or clinical understanding. Janine is different. She’s grounded in both compassion and solid professional training. While my story may be different from others, I believe Janine just gets it. Every case is unique — it’s like peeling back the layers of an onion. Life is complex, emotional, and deeply personal. Janine guided me through my layers — not with a one-size-fits-all approach, but by honoring the experience of life itself. She sees people for who they are, meets them where they’re at, and holds space without judgment or assumption. She didn’t try to fix me — she helped me find myself. This isn’t just therapy. This is transformation. Janine helped me take my power back and rebuild my life with clarity, strength, and self-worth. I’m endlessly grateful to her — and to the support systems that stood by me through it all. I wouldn’t be here without them. Thank you so much, Janine. Your impact is immeasurable.

   I have attended Janine's group workshop yesterday. She briefed some basic concepts related to relationships such as the three key factors making people feel attracted by the other. Then we had a free Q&A session lasting 1 hour around. Janine's rich knowledge and genuine way of interaction with the audience impressed me a lot. I attended the workshop for learning new psychology stuff from professionals. If you really have a problem need to resolve, guess you can book a session to have a feel yourself. OR you may check from Eventbrite for sometimes she may have some group workshop posted there. BTW, the four stars is my highest rank giving for I have a belief that there is always space to improve for there is no perfect thing in the world. :)

   Janine has helped me so much. Her frankness, intuition and depth of experience and knowledge enabled her to get straight to the heart of my issue very quickly. In a very short time I not only was shown what I needed to work on but then, more importantly, shown how to fix it. Thank you Janine you are amazing.
