My name is Sharon du Preez.  I am a qualified and registered counsellor, currently based in Blenheim, New Zealand.  I offer play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma focussed cognitive behavioural therapy to children.  I offer parent/caregiver counselling to help brainstorm any difficulties with parenting and I also offer infant mental health counselling which works with the child and their caregiver together.  I am fully registered with NZAC and ACC.

​

I have a BA Health & Social Sciences (Psych Couns) degree, Dip CBT, Dip TF-CBT, Dip Neuro-relational Child Centred Play Therapy.  I have a background in education and have more than a decade's experience in counselling.  

​

I am married and have 2 adult children, one of whom is autistic and has ADHD and have thus garnered a wealth of personal experience.  

​

We immigrated to New Zealand in 2008 from South Africa, and lived in Wellington for several years before relocating to Blenheim, where I have set up my practice.  As per NZAC regulations, I have regular supervision and continuous professional development.  I believe in lifelong education and, as such, am always engaged in study.
