Travel Information
Tika Shadbolt - Counsellor / Auckland (ACC Named Service Provider / Private)
I specialise in addiction counselling, and I am passionate about empowering people to make positive, sustainable changes in their lives. I am committed to respectful, responsive care that centres consent, cultural humility, and collaborative decision-making. I bring experiences from clinical practice and learning and development backgrounds.
My practice is trauma-informed and person-paced; I meet people where they are, using conversational, down-to-earth dialogue and a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual.
I also work in organisational settings, supporting teams and individuals to strengthen workplace culture and sustain staff wellbeing. My approach is collaborative and systems-aware: I partner with stakeholders to identify priorities, build staff capability, and embed simple, sustainable practices that reduce burnout and improve psychological safety.
