Support for the midlife turning point and beyond - because you don’t have to figure it out alone

Nau mai haere mai; welcome to this page

I’m Rina, mum to 3 now adult children and a joyful, hilarious golden retriever. I have full registration as a counselling psychologist, with a masters degree in counselling psychology and decades of experience. I have a special interest in women’s health and wellbeing, grief and bereavement, chronic pain, perimenopause and menopause, and aging.

I draw primarily from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and fACT (focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), for half-hour appointments. The beautifully holistic Māori Te Whare Tapa Whā model of wellbeing underpins my work.

Appointments

For a korero (chat) to see whether this work will be a good fit for you, or to book an initial appointment, please text or give me a ring on 026 686 5609; or email hello@rinabelgraver.com.

Location

Appointments are in-person at my consulting room in New Plymouth, or via secure video or telephone, New Zealand-wide.

Fees

I offer 60-minute appointments ($180) and brief, focused 30-minute appointments ($80; ideal for focused and practical support with building new habits, sleep struggles, emotional eating, stress, diabetes, increasing physical activity or ramping up self-care. You might also find these work well if you just want to check in or refresh a skill).
