Lou Greene-Winters _none

Kia ora, I’m Lou. I am a Queer, gender-fluid, neurodivergent and polyamorous person. I am a qualified counsellor, residing in Pōneke, Wellington. 

My counselling practice is holistic and person-led, with a focus on your personal experiences and the aspects that make you who you are. My aim is to support you to feel empowered and confident so you can live your life with meaning. I understand that well-being means different things to different people and believe counselling is just one step on your journey, where a range of choices and support encourage you toward meaningful change. 

I have predominantly worked with people exploring their sexuality, gender identity, non-monogamy and life transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals experiencing burnout, ADHD/Autism, substance use and addiction and relationships. I adopt a ‘not one size fits all’ approach, using a range of modalities including storytelling, poetry, acceptance and mindfulness techniques, brief intervention and harm reduction strategies.  

I have a gentle and reassuring presence, with an awareness of trauma responses and the nuances of neurodivergent experiences. I welcome suggestions and adjustments to ensure your comfort in our sessions. I hope that together, we create a space that feels like a sanctuary, where you feel safe to share with me at a pace that feels right for you.

I look forward to working with you,
