Empowering Change from Within

Hi, I am Sandi Clapperton - a dedicated counsellor offering therapy with 14 years of experience in supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments—whether it’s overcoming trauma, navigating grief, managing anxiety, significant life changes, mental health challenges, women’s health, personal growth or finding hope in the face of addiction. 

 My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, somatic work and a deep commitment to empowering you to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. I will create a safe and confidential space for you to journey into deeper connection with yourself and those around you.

I believe that healing isn’t just about talking through problems; it’s about nurturing every part of you, finding balance, and building resilience in a way that feels right for you. I am especially committed to creating a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed environment, where your unique experiences and background are honored.

Having worked closely with diverse communities, including Māori and Pacifica, I strive to ensure that our work together respects your values and supports your journey in a meaningful, personalized way. If you’re looking for a counsellor who listens with empathy, supports with kindness, and provides a calm presence in times of uncertainty, I’m here for you. Together, we can find your path forward, one step at a time.

I have managed crisis teams for the last 5 years alongside my clinic and have worked in many settings including NGO’s, refuges, prisons and mental health respite spaces. Now focusing on my own clinic and supervision for counsellors and other health professionals.
