Kia Ora!
I am Stefanie.
I have spent more than twenty five years working with individuals and couples in New Zealand and internationally. As a Certified International Imago Relationship Therapist and Gottman Couples Therapist, I bring structured, evidence informed relationship work into every session, workshop, and retreat.
I am a Full Member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors, an Accredited Counsellor and Family Therapist, and an Accredited Clinical Supervisor. My work is grounded in professional standards, clarity, and a deep respect for the complexity of long term relationships.

Ways to Work With Me.
Different relationships require different levels of support. Some couples want ongoing guidance. Others prefer a focused intensive experience. Some individuals want to understand their relational patterns before entering a new partnership.
You can choose the format that fits your situation.
Couples Counselling and In-Home Intensives
Private sessions online or in person designed to help you understand recurring patterns, improve communication, and rebuild emotional safety.
We move at a pace that suits you, with providing structure and clear tools you can continue using at home. At your home or mine. Online or in the CBD or in West Auckland!
What Couples Say
These reflections come from couples who have worked with me in structured relationship programmes and therapeutic settings.
Current Available Workshops
Upcoming opportunities to engage in structured relationship work across New Zealand and internationally.
Who This Work Is For
This work supports couples who are steady but stuck, couples who feel fragile or on the brink, and couples who simply want to strengthen what they already value.
It also supports individuals who want to grow their relational capacity before entering a new partnership.
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit. And if you are in crisis, there is still space for structured support.
Learn to speak in a way that your partner wants to listen to you and learn to listen in a way your partner wants to speak with you.
Advanced Certified Imago Relationship Therapist
Formally trained in the Imago Dialogue process, helping couples move from conflict to conscious connection.
Gottman Couples Therapy
Evidence-based relationship therapy grounded in decades of research on what makes partnerships succeed or fail.
Full Member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors
Bound by a professional code of ethics, ongoing supervision, and continuing professional development to ensure safe, high-quality care.
25+ Years Experience
Supporting individuals and couples through change, crisis, growth, and reconnection across New Zealand and internationally.
Discover the Luxury Bali Couples Retreat - August 2027!
