If you're unsure whether counselling is right for your situation, please reach out — we're happy to guide you.
Absolutely. SoulCheck is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and affirming space for people of all backgrounds, cultures, identities, and lived experiences.
Tersia's practice is culturally aware and client-centred — meaning your identity, your story, and your context are always honoured and respected throughout our work together. There is no judgement here.
You can book a session directly through our Book a Session page, where you'll find all available services and time slots.
If you have questions or would like to discuss your needs before booking, you're also welcome to email us at info@soulcheck.co.nz — Tersia or a team member will respond promptly.
Each session begins with a check-in to understand how you're feeling and what you'd like to focus on. Sessions are conversational and guided by your needs — there's no rigid agenda.
Depending on what comes up, Tersia may draw on a range of modalities including reflective conversation, mindfulness, breathwork, somatic awareness, or other techniques from her holistic training. You are always in control of the pace and direction of your sessions.
Traditional counselling often focuses primarily on thoughts and behaviour (for example, CBT). Holistic counselling at SoulCheck considers the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — and looks at how all dimensions of your life and experience are connected.
Rather than only managing symptoms, we explore root causes. This allows for deeper, more lasting change. Tersia integrates evidence-based therapy with soul-centred tools — including mindfulness, somatic work, and empowerment coaching — to address the full picture of who you are.
Your counsellor at SoulCheck can provide:
Clients of SoulCheck often report experiencing:
The holistic approach offers a multifaceted path to well-being that goes far beyond symptom relief.
Where traditional counselling may focus on a single modality or symptom, holistic counselling at SoulCheck integrates multiple therapeutic approaches — including somatic experiencing, mindfulness, cognitive techniques, and empowerment coaching — to address the full spectrum of your experience.
We also honour the spiritual and energetic dimensions of health, which are often overlooked in conventional settings. This makes our approach particularly well-suited to those who sense that their challenges have deeper roots.
Holistic counselling is well-suited to anyone who senses that their struggles have deeper roots than surface-level symptoms, or who wants a more integrative, whole-person approach to their healing.
It works especially well for those who are curious, open to self-exploration, and ready to engage with the process — even if they're not sure where to begin. If you're wondering whether it's right for you, the answer is probably yes. Reach out and we'll help you decide.
Sessions typically run for one hour (or 90 minutes for relationship counselling) and are conducted either in-person at the Takapuna clinic or via a secure online video platform.
The session is guided by your current needs and goals. Tersia creates a warm, unhurried space for you to share, reflect, and explore. There is no pressure to disclose more than you're comfortable with — the pace is always yours to set.
Yes. Research consistently shows that online counselling can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most issues. At SoulCheck, online sessions are conducted via a secure, professional platform and offer the same quality of care, presence, and therapeutic depth as face-to-face sessions.
Many clients find online sessions particularly helpful for their flexibility and accessibility — especially for those outside Auckland or with busy schedules.
