Counselling & Hypnotherapy on the Kāpiti Coast and Online

Feel alive and happy

Counselling with a difference.

Kia ora, I'm Annette.

I provide gentle, confidential, non-judgemental support for people who feel stuck or lost - in anxiety, in overthinking, in emotional pain, in old patterns, in addictions, in depression, or for people who have a sense of disconnection from themselves.

Do you want to live your best life and be happy?

I offer unique one-on-one counselling and hypnotherapy sessions designed to help you feel heard, supported and more connected to who you really are.

I would be honoured to support you. Please check the services pages for how I help and what happens during a session.

Also scroll down this page for a free e-book about how your early days of life affect you as an adult. It was all about survival then.

I look forward to meeting you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Annette from The Inner Path is a highly skilled therapist who provides a safe space to explore all the different aspects of being in this world. She has helped me immensely manage to be with unpleasant feelings like anxiety, shame, or fear if they arise (instead of pushing these away in trying to avoid them). She has equipped me with practical techniques I can apply in everyday situations. I'm very grateful for her help and can highly recommend her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As I have journeyed through the most challenging time in my life, I couldn’t be more grateful for having Annette by my side supporting me, her presence is calming, kind and professional, I feel like I am held in a warm embrace of safety and love, Annette has the gift of really meeting me where I’m at, and being able to gently guide me through blockages and releasing stuck emotions, the tools she shares to support me through each day have been immensely helpful. I totally recommend Annette if you feel you need support and want to experience deep profound healing in a safe, gentle and professional way. Thank you Annette, I feel truly blessed. Sharon

What would it feel like to wake up in the morning and feel happy or even excited about the day?

Individual Therapy

You will leave feeling relaxed and peaceful in a way that you haven’t before.

Supervision sessions

Be free of limiting old patterns, step out into the workplace confident as yourself.

Retreats

Rest your mind and come to a retreat.
One day or one hour.

Wouldn’t it be great to feel happy and know your true self?

It's not your fault that you aren't happy.

Patterns of being, thinking, responding and feeling get set up when very young - to survive. Back then survival was top priority. But the patterns got stuck and no longer serve you as an adult.

Let's get to the subconscious and loosen these patterns so that you can be free.

Discover what you really want in life.

Discover your own inner guidance that is deep inside. I will help you connect to your true self.

Will I be hypnotised?

No, not in the way people often imagine. The hypnotherapy used at The Inner Path is a gentle guided relaxation process.

You remain aware and in charge throughout. The purpose is to help you relax deeply and connect with what may be happening beneath the surface so that old patterns can be finished with.

Do I need to know what I want to work on before booking?

No. Many people arrive simply knowing that something does not feel right. You might feel stuck, anxious, disconnected or unsure where to begin. That is okay. Part of the work is gently clarifying what is happening for you.

How many sessions will I need?

That is your decision. Some people begin with one session, while others choose a three-session option or ongoing support. You are in charge of the pace, and I will help you to decide what feels right for you

Are sessions available online?

Yes. Sessions are available online through Google Meet, so you can work with me from anywhere in New Zealand and the world. Online sessions can still be personal, gentle and deeply supportive.

Where are in-person sessions held?

In-person sessions are held in Paraparaumu. I offer sessions in my small home, where you can sit comfortably in a calm, private space with lots of trees and nature nearby.

We all know that big trauma can affect people badly, be hard to let go of and have an ongoing effect on relationships.
But what of the stuff that happens before you can talk and before you can remember – when you were a baby?
