Malani Erwin Counselling
Meet Malani...
With over a decade of experience in mental health, Malani is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with empathy and understanding. Malani specializes as a counsellor, supporting people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, identity, life transitions, and more.
Malani’s approach to counselling is holistic, acknowledging how our well-being rests upon the dynamics between our emotional, mental, spiritual and physical spheres. She offers creative tools like expressive arts, body awareness, and storytelling to support people express and process their emotions and experiences.
Malani’s practice is guided by your needs, informed by trauma awareness, and respects cultural perspectives, including Hauora Māori. She also draws on knowledge of the attachment theory and the “7-year biographical cycles” to guide her work.
The space she provides is safe and non-judgmental. An environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and desires, and foster a growing sense of self-acceptance.
Whether you're seeking solutions to a particular concern or challenge, or simply need a space to be heard, she is here for you. Together, you can explore your feelings, unpack your challenges, and find authentic, empowering ways to move forward.
