Miss Karina Vaccarezza
Professional Counselor
“I'm proudly registered as a Counsellor with NZAC, and my journey in Clinical Psychology led me through studies in Uruguay. In my therapeutic approach, you'll find a blend of competence and genuine compassion. I'm committed to creating a warm inviting space with empathy. I have training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.”
About Me
I offer a warm, inviting space where you can explore life's challenges with genuine compassion. My clinical psychology background, including studies in Uruguay, informs a practical yet empathetic approach. We can work together, using techniques like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, to gain clarity and develop insights. Clients seeking a supportive, competent environment will find a collaborative path to understanding and moving forward.
Approach
Sessions unfold at your pace; I blend practical tools with reflective conversation so you can try small changes between meetings. Whether we meet in Wānaka or online, in English or Spanish, I keep the space straightforward and steady, checking in about what feels useful each week. We track patterns that fuel anxiety, anger or low mood, rehearsing new responses and building short, achievable skills informed by evidence-based techniques. People seeking a calm, collaborative way to regain confidence and manage stress often find this approach helpful.
