Bio
A warm welcome from New Zealand.
It takes a lot of courage and strength to talk about painful things that matter to you. If this is your first time, be comforted by knowing that you're acting on a part of you that wants change and cares for you deeply. I am a qualified and registered counsellor and I am dedicated to helping people get through all types of mental illness and relationship struggles because I know from first-hand experience the power of talking openly and vulnerably.
On a personal note, I’ve struggled with anxiety, depression and panic, but through reaching out like you, I’ve learned to be more self-aware and equip myself with tools that empower me to be functional and in good relationship with myself and the people. Please note, I only offer what's called "Brief Intervention". If it becomes clear that your issues are based in the past or require deeper, more long-term care, it'll be better for your long-term wellbeing if you reach out to a face-to-face therapist. I'll let you know if that's the case as we chat. If I am online, please feel free to contact me. I’m glad you’re here.
I'm only taking support chats not casual chats when I'm available.
Feedback & Reviews
They really made me feel seen and heard, and explained things in a way I could understand
Skilled, professional, and caring. Definitely a premier service!
a great listener
He's a great dude to talk to. He's a positive person, and even if he doesn't understand where you are coming from, he's willing to listen and challenge what he believes in. 10/10 I highly recommend
Seems to have a positive attitude about life.
really good listener with good attention and good questions to really help you look at and remember things. very recommended!!

Very good listener
Well-structured conversation. Helped me work through some heavy things within me.
he was great, he let me feel heard and also helped me see other perspectives about my (very serious) issue I was facing. I can't stress enough how good of a listener he is!
He's really GREAT
Thank you so much. Our conversation was very helpful for me. This listener is very empathetic and understood my situation very well
Ocean listened fabulously and provided some key information to help me reduce or even remove my self-critical and judgy behaviours, which I project onto the world. The key thing I learned was "reframe your actions as a response to a need", so instead of saying "I suck for sleeping late", I could practise self compassion and at the same time take responsibility for my action by saying, "I chose to sleep late to respond to my need to connect and learn from a friendly and kind stranger"
Thank you so much very helpful and supportive thank you
This person is empathetic, kind and trying the best to make you feel comfortable and being heard and seen.The person is full of ideas how to feel better but focusing also on talking with you and trying to understand your feelings and thoughts.Not just making you forget what you are feeling but making you try things to feel better even if it is hard.
Very understandable unbiased and kind
Supportive

A listener who is willing to spend quality time and access your problems. 10/10
I've had a few conversations on here with some listeners but none as attentive and detailed as this one.
He is very concise and on point with his statements and listens to you. Invests the time and dedication to truly understand what you're going through and for that I can only say great hings about him. He helped me in a time of need and I have absolutely no doubt he can do the same for you. Thank you again brother you made a difference and it matters. Stay safe and keep optimistic
