Maree Stachel-Williamson (Dip. Couns., BA, Member of NZAC, IN and ACSSW).  Pronouns: She/her.

Maree enjoys working on a wide variety of topics including sex and sexuality, finding a positive path forward during times of change, grief, spirituality and relationships among others.  Helping couples improve their sex life when otherwise their relationship is going well, is another area of her work that feels meaningful and important.  

Maree especially enjoys empowering people to be able to reflect on their situation with new perspectives, tools and strategies to process old memories as well as current and future challenges.  And through this building kindness towards oneself, contentment and purpose.  In your sessions, she can blend her various therapeutic approaches together so you can have a really logic-focused strategising session one day and be embarking on a spiritual guided journey the next.  It’s ultimately up to you and what you want and what works for you.  So let her know what you’d like your sessions to be like and the kind of support you’d like and you can co-create the approach together.

Practising since 2004, Maree is a NZAC (New Zealand Association of Counsellors) registered counsellor, and member of IN (International Association of NLP Institutes).  She is a sex therapist, NLP Master Practitioner, hypnotherapist and mBit Practitioner.  She also has experience working in mental health support, the disability sector, with youth and as a career guidance advisor.  

Other key trainings include:
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Assessing and Treating Sex Issues in Psychotherapy (Level 1 & 2), Integrative Sex and Couples Certification Training (CSTIP), Time-Line Therapy™, Ericksonian and Clinical Hypnotherapy, Clean Language, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), TFH Kinesiology, Reflective Supervision and various workshops in the field of Tantra.  University studies included philosophy papers: Human Nature, Logic: ‘How to be Rational’, Philosophy of Religion, and Ethics.  Maree also has diplomas in Person-Centred Counselling and Career Guidance and is registered to work with clients accessing funding through OCP.
