Counselling - Ria Adams

A counsellor offers a safe, professional space to talk through the challenges you may be facing in life. This can include support with your emotions, relationships, communication, mental health, or your general sense of wellbeing. The aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported while working towards healing and positive change.

At Parnell Natural Health, Ria Adams provides skilled, trauma-sensitive counselling to support emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing. She is ACC registered and currently welcoming new clients.

Ria’s approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Grounded in person-centred, humanistic psychology, her work draws on a range of modalities such as talking therapy, narrative, psychodynamic, somatic, and expressive art or movement-based approaches.

She works with individuals and couples experiencing difficulties with anxiety, stress, grief, low mood, depression, and relationship challenges. Ria is also experienced in supporting clients through trauma-related issues, including PTSD, sexual harm, and interpersonal abuse.

The therapeutic relationship is central to her practice. When you feel safe enough to be open, the journey can feel less isolating and bring a renewed sense of hope.

If you are considering counselling, Ria offers a free 15-minute introductory session to explore whether this feels like the right support for you.
