Isobella King

Kia Ora! I am an empathetic and evidence informed registered counsellor with over four years of experience supporting diverse clients through therapeutic interventions. I identify as bi-cultural (Pakeha and Fijian Indian).

About Me

I have a strong commitment to ethical practice, cultural responsiveness and client empowerment. I also bring over four years of experience navigating the combined demands of counselling in a mental health context. I enjoy gardening, particularly growing cut flowers. I value integrity, collectivism, connectedness, compassion and transparency.

Counselling Services

I have 11 years’ experience in the health sector, including disability, physical and mental health support work. I am trained in Solution Focused therapy, and I integrate somatic therapy approaches, supporting clients to work not only cognitively but also through embodied awareness and nervous system regulation.

Some changes I have noticed in clients during and after attending counselling:

• Feeling empowered to set boundaries, say no, and ask for what they need.
• Increased capacity to sit with discomfort, move through emotions, and express how they are feeling.
• A more developed sense of self-awareness, including clarity around values and what is meaningful to them.
• Sharing their authentic self more openly with loved ones.
• Greater ability to make decisions with confidence.
• A stronger and more stable sense of self.
• Reduced reliance on external validation.
• Feeling comfortable voicing disagreements or alternative viewpoints without fear of judgment or dismissal.
• Increased awareness of, and curiosity about, the systems they function within.
• Feeling safe to express cultural needs or challenge dominant narratives.
• Holding their experiences as part of their story, rather than their entire identity.
