Mr Ben Burggraaf

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors

I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. With 3,000+ hours experience helping ages 18-45, we'll build confidence and practical tools for anxiety, stress, and self-doubt through real conversations that feel grounded yet direct—reconnecting you with authenticity and joy.

About Me

Beyond creating a warm, non-judgmental space, I offer grounded, direct conversations. For adults aged 18-45, we navigate anxiety, stress, and self-doubt, building confidence and practical tools. With over 3,000 hours of experience, my approach helps you reconnect with your authentic self. Find greater joy and lasting well-being through clear strategies.

Approach

Sessions are practical and grounded, moving between focused talk and simple experiments to shift anxious thinking and lift low mood. In Mount Maunganui I offer in-person and online work in English, keeping pace flexible to suit busy lives. I set small, achievable tasks between meetings, give clear feedback, and tackle self-doubt with direct questions and skills you can try the same week. This suits people seeking honest, down-to-earth support that grows confidence steadily.
