Kia ora - A warm Hello!

I'm Steffen

I am a qualified Diplom‑Pädagoge with studies in Psychology, Education, and Sociology (NZQA Level 8), certified in Psychotherapy, and registered as a Provisional Member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC). I am also a member of the New Zealand Association of Positive Psychology (NZAPP). My practice is grounded in evidence‑based therapeutic approaches, informed by current research and decades of clinical experience.

Since immigrating from Germany in 2009, I have lived and worked in Whitianga on the Coromandel Peninsula. As a father of two, I bring a lived understanding of family life, development, and the complexities of human relationships.

For more than 25 years, I have supported individuals, couples, families, and groups across cultures and life stages. I offer a calm, relational, and trauma‑informed space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported to create meaningful change.

If you’re considering counselling, I warmly invite you to make contact.
