Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
Being a dad can bring pressures that few people talk about. Balancing work, family, and your own well-being can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to lose sight of yourself in the process. I offer a space to sort through the stress, expectations, and emotions that come with fatherhood, without judgment. You don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own—I’m here to support you in finding clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of yourself as both a man and a parent

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, Trauma-Informed Relationship Counsellor, Therapeutic coach
Hi, I’m Uri Bookman — a trauma-informed relationship therapist, counsellor, and coach (PACFA 30041). Parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, often bringing stress, conflict, or different expectations between partners.
I work with parents to strengthen communication, build emotional resilience, and create a more supportive family environment. For separated parents, I also offer Mediation & Co-Parenting Support — a trauma-informed, collaborative pathway that helps reduce conflict and establish respectful, sustainable agreements.
Together, we’ll focus on tools that bring clarity, compassion, and calm into your parenting journey — whether you’re navigating everyday struggles or the complexity of co-parenting after separation.
If you’d like support in creating a stronger, more connected family life, I offer a free 15-minute chat to see if this feels like the right fit.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I have vast experience listening to many, many peoples parenting stories. Thus I feel I have a good understanding of the common parenting problems and issues, and how they can impact you and your children when experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your parenting to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.
11 Years Experience
Online in Auckland, New Zealand (Online Only)
Auckland houses the majority of New Zealand's therapy community, with practitioners concentrated in Parnell, Remuera, Grey Lynn, and the North Shore. The city's housing affordability crisis — one of the worst in the world relative to income — is a persistent source of financial anxiety, and therapists frequently address housing stress, displacement, and the difficulty of achieving stability in one of the world's most expensive property markets. Auckland's large Pacific Islander and Māori populations require therapists with cultural competence around Indigenous mental health, collectivist family systems, and the historical trauma of colonization. Te Whatu Ora — Health New Zealand provides public mental health services, with a growing private therapy community serving those with health insurance or the capacity to self-fund.
