Grace Wang

Hi, this is Grace.

I offer counselling in both English and Mandarin Chinese. You’re welcome to contact me by email to book a session. I always begin with a free 15-minute initial conversation, so we can explore whether we’re the right fit, and I can also support you in accessing government or community-funded counselling options if appropriate.

Please reach out by sending me a text message or Email (gracecounsellornz@gmail.com). I work with children (7+), young people, adults, older adults, and couples, using a strength-based, client-centred approach that honours each person’s story and lived experience. 您好，我提供中英文双语心理咨询服务。欢迎通过邮件预约，我会先安排一次15分钟的免费初步沟通，帮助彼此了解是否适合合作，并根据需要协助了解政府或公益组织提供的心理咨询补贴资源。请发短信(02108409081)或者邮件(gracecounsellornz@gmail.com)先与我约时间。我服务的对象包括：7岁以上的儿童、青少年、成人、老年人及伴侣关系，以优势取向、以人为中心的方式开展心理咨询，尊重每个人独特的生命故事与成长路径。

I hold a bachelor’s degree in applied counselling, trained in New Zealand, and have professional training in person-centred therapy, CBT, narrative therapy, interactive drawing therapy (IDT), and sand tray therapy. My experience includes working as a high school guidance counsellor and a community mental health counsellor in New Zealand, supporting clients from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. I enjoy working with clients from all over the world and building therapeutic relationships with them through culturally responsive counselling services. 我拥有应用心理咨询学士学位，是新西兰注册的心理咨询师。我接受过人本疗法、CBT疗法、叙事疗法（Narrative Therapy）、互动绘画疗法（IDT）及沙盘治疗（Sand Tray Therapy）等疗法的专业训练。 我曾在新西兰担任高中心理辅导老师及社区心理健康咨询师，也曾于新西兰小学和华人心理健康机构实习，长期与不同文化背景的个体与家庭工作，积累了丰富的一线实践经验。我很喜欢与来自世界各地不同文化的客户在有效的咨询关系中合作。

As a native Mandarin speaker with decades of lived experience across Mainland China and New Zealand, I offer culturally responsive counselling for the Chinese community, particularly for those navigating migration, identity, parenting, and cross-cultural stress. 作为母语为普通话的华人咨询师，我拥有长期在中国大陆与新西兰生活、学习与工作的经历，能够为华人群体提供具文化敏感度与文化理解力的心理咨询支持，特别适用于移民适应、身份认同、亲子关系与跨文化压力等议题。 I am not only a counsellor, but also a mother, a wife, and a lifelong learner.

My personal journey through immigration, parenting challenges, and postnatal depression deeply shapes how I work — with empathy, humility, and respect for each person’s resilience. I value holistic well-being and long-term personal development. I believe healing happens through safe relationships, shared meaning, and collaborative work. I walk alongside clients to help them reconnect with their strengths, their stories, and their sense of direction, so they can build lives that feel grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling. 我不仅是一名心理咨询师，也是一位母亲、妻子与终身学习者。我亲身经历过移民适应、育儿挑战与产后抑郁，这些生命经验让我在专业之外，更懂得陪伴、理解与尊重人的脆弱与力量。我重视整体身心健康与长期生命发展，相信疗愈来自安全关系、真实连接与共同建构意义的过程。我愿意与来访者并肩同行，看见你的故事、资源与力量，支持你走向更稳定、有意义与更自由的人生状态。
