Support for the midlife turning point, perimenopause and beyond - it can be a tricky time, and you don’t have to figure out how to manage it, 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, to book an initial appointment or enquire about fees, please text or give me a ring on 026 686 5609. Alternatively, 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.

I offer 50-60 minute appointments, as well as half-hour (these are ideal for focused and practical support with building new habits, sleep struggles, anger management, emotional eating, diabetes, increasing movement in your day or ramping up self-care. You might also find these work well if you just want to check in or refresh a skill).
