Welcome!
My name is Amy Mills
I'm an integrative counsellor offering therapy to help teenagers, young people and adults process difficulties past and present, accept themselves and find ways to live that feel authentic, meaningful and contented.
I also offer clinical supervision for counsellors and therapists, as well as independent supervision for people working in related professional roles such as education, social and health care.
I offer in-person sessions to people from my therapy room in the centre of New Plymouth (Aotearoa New Zealand). I also offer online sessions to people further afield in Taranaki and across the motu, overseas in the United Kingdom and internationally in many other countries too.
I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Provisional Member of the New Zealand Association for Counsellors.

Services
Counselling for Adults
Significant life changes can challenge our sense of who we are and where we're headed. I work with adults across Aotearoa New Zealand, the United Kingdom and internationally who are navigating transitions such as separation, career changes, relocation, illness, bereavement or questions around identity. Counselling offers space to reflect, adapt and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Counselling for Teenagers
Therapy for teenagers (13+) living in Aotearoa New Zealand. If you tend to overthink, feel things deeply, feel different or struggle to fit in, counselling can help you explore your emotions, experiences and identity. Perhaps you're navigating friendships, romantic relationships, family challenges, pressures around study and the future or difficult experiences from the past. Together we can make sense of what's happening, develop practical ways to cope and move forward with greater confidence.
Supervision for Counsellors & Other Therapists
Clinical supervision provides a confidential space to reflect on complex work, explore challenges and gain fresh perspectives. I work with counsellors and therapists across Aotearoa New Zealand, the United Kingdom and internationally. Together, we can think through ethical dilemmas, difficult client work and professional challenges – thereby helping you to feel clearer, more confident and supported in your practice.
Consultative Supervision for Helping Professionals
Working in education, health or social care can be rewarding, demanding and emotionally complex. Independent supervision offers a confidential space to reflect on challenging situations, explore different perspectives and consider the impact your work has on you. You decide what to talk about and I bring my therapeutic insight and experience to help us to reflect together; giving you greater clarity and confidence in your role.
LGBTQIA+ / Rainbow and Neurodivergence friendly
I particularly welcome people who identify as being LGBTQI+ or Rainbow, and those who are questioning their sexuality or gender identity. I also welcome people who identify as neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism (ASD) and other differences in how they think and experience the world.I offer support that is affirmative and appreciative of each person's experience of being and relating. I don't expect people to hide who they are, or adapt themselves to fit what someone else thinks is a normal way of doing things.
