John Tetley Narrative Therapist/Counsellor and Supervisor in Kerikeri (09) 4071904, (027) 2441800
I see individuals, couples and family members about all sorts of things ranging from what to do about past experiences that continue to affect life, how to do life now, and how do life differently and with renewed energy in the future. I have met people with every difficulty you can envisage. It is my aim to provide counselling that can be supportive of most of life’s difficulties. The sorts of problems that people bring to me include relationship problems and partner difficulties, abuse, work issues, concerns for others, failure, sexual worries, feelings of failure, hopes for the future and so on. I supervise the professional practice of other counsellors.

Frances Adlam
Frances Adlam Counsellor (09) 5756124
I work with children and adolescents that do not fit into systems (often school systems). This may be because they learn or behave in ways that are different to the expectations of school. Many children that come to see me have high anxieties and sensitivities towards their experiences at school. This can lead to further complications such as raised fears of attending school or “playing out” behaviour at home. I weave my educational and counselling threads together; sometimes counselling children and sometimes tutoring them in ways that suit their learning style. Many of the children I work with have been diagnosed with one or some of the following: ADHD, ADD, Dyslexia, Aspergers or Autism. I also work with teenagers and women that may have issues with eating such as anorexia and bulimia.
