Zosia Pardela

Kia ora,

I’m Zosia, I identify as a Polish, heterosexual, cisgendered female, and go by she/her pronouns.

I'm an LGBTQIA+ ally and committed to making counselling culturally safe - making sure you don't need to leave any part of yourself out the door. I'm trained in trauma therapy and enjoy helping my clients befriend their emotions by creating a safe space for them.

I hold a Masters degree in Psychology of Mental Health and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy (Level 1) and Polyvagal Theory (Level 1). I'm currently working towards provisional NZAC registration, and am a counsellor in training through Masters of Counselling programme at Massey University.

Outside of work I love pottery and making ceramics, rock climbing and dog-watching while drinking coffee around Cuba Street.
