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.

  • Anxiety

  • Life transitions e.g. menopause, loss of relationship or pet, health diagnosis and more.
