Grief and Loss

Grief and loss can come from many areas in life, such as the loss of a life, relationship, occupation, stage in life, possession, etc. Any loss can cause many emotions, some you may be familiar with, some not. I have many years experience helping people through their loss.

Baby Loss

Pregnancy & Infant Loss can cause mixed emotions at the time of the loss, in coming years, and during subsequent pregnancies. Having experienced my own loss, I have the empathy and understanding unique to baby loss and all that it encompasses.

Neurodiveristy

If you or someone you know has Autism, High Functioning Autism (Aspergers) or ADHD I can help navigate the world through the neurodiverse lense. I have comprehensive experience on a personal and professional level with Autism and ADHD in both children and adults.

Anxiety & Depression

Feeling of worried, nervous, uneasy or depressed about something can be due to a variety of reasons. Let me help you understand what is going on for you and provide skill and tools to help manage it.

Change of Circumstance

The world is a fast paced place to live in! Changes are not often easy, expected or welcome. Talking to someone can often help at these times and gain valuable understanding and a new perspective.

Personal Information

Born in the Waikato, I come from a dairy farming and agricultural contracting family of 10. I now live in Tauranga with my husband and 3 sons.

Originally I was trained in tourism and travel but found a career in computing. My husband and I developed and owned a successful website design and IT business which we had to 20 years until we sold it in 2016.

However the pregnancy of my fourth child changed my life forever... Following the death of our daughter half way through my pregnancy I joined Sands and have a passion to help people who also have the agonising loss of a baby. After a Sands conference in 2011 I left with the inner yearning to help on a deeper level. This led me to studying Diploma of Counselling at the New Zealand Institute of Professional Counselling.

Denise Coy, Counsellor Since graduating I have been working as a counsellor at St Peters House, where I have been the Team Leader since October 2020. In my time there I have had the privilege of working with many people to help them with depression, anxiety, grief, illness, adhd, autism, parenting and lots more. I believe in an authentic, person centered approach to counselling. I work with a mix of therapies including Person Centered, CBT, Strengths Based, Solution Focused Therapy and more... I work with you with what issues you are facing in life at the moment.

To keep me busy I also own and run a small business called My Angel which sells cremation jewellery and urns. This business was also started from the death of my daughter and brings so much fulfillment to my life being able to help comfort people with their grief by providing a continuing bond and lasting memory of their loved one.
I am also actively involved in St John, love animals, aeroplanes, flying and travel, and I try to get some time to play musical instruments and do some craft activities.

Professional Supervision

NZCCA Approved Supervisor

Professional supervision provides the opportunity for healthcare professionals to meet, share clinical information, engage in reflective discussions, review their current workload and develop new ways of working and skills.

I am committed to making your sessions with me a positive, reflective experience. Together we can develop useful strategies for you to use in your professional setting.

In my role as Team Leader at St Peters House I have worked with many BTI students as their PLP, so I am familiar with the counselling programme BTI offers.
I welcome BTI students and offer a discounted rate depending on the number of sessions required per month.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT TAKING ANY MORE STUDENTS FOR 2024.

My standard rate for supervision is $120 a session. Please contact me for availability.

Want to work together on your professional development? I offer a free initial meeting in person, zoom or phone to discuss supervision and see if we are a good fit.
