Kia ora, I’m Carien. I believe we all carry within us the natural capacity to heal, grow, and flourish, even when life feels overwhelming. For more than 30 years, I’ve supported people through life’s challenges, first as a teacher, lecturer and educational psychologist in South Africa, and now as a registered psychologist in New Zealand.
My work is rooted in compassion and respect for each person’s unique story. I bring together somatic experiencing, nervous system regulation, and other integrative approaches to help people restore balance, resilience, and a deeper connection with themselves.
I know how hard it can be to carry stress, trauma, or uncertainty. In our work together, I offer a safe, nurturing space where you can slow down, listen to your body’s wisdom, and gently rediscover your own strength.
Outside of my work, you’ll usually find me enjoying yoga, bush or beach walks, reading, or spending time with my family.

Terms of Use for seaoteroa.co.nz Practitioner Directory

seatotearoa.co.nz offers a Practitioner Directory designed to help you find practitioners who include Somatic Experiencing in their therapeutic, coaching, or counselling services. All practitioners listed here have completed at least the first year of Somatic Experiencing training (Beginning year modules).

 
PLEASE NOTE:
The main purpose of this Practitioner Directory is to help you connect with Somatic Experiencing practitioners. All practitioners listed here have training in Somatic Experiencing. Many also bring other skills and approaches to their work, which they may choose to share in their listing. Each practitioner is responsible for the information they provide about their training, qualifications, certifications, and opinions, whether in their directory listing or on their website. We do not verify insurance, professional memberships, or qualifications in other modalities.
 
This directory is a paid listing service and does not include every SEP or SE student in Aotearoa, as participation is optional. It is intended as a helpful starting point for finding Somatic Experiencing practitioners.
 
The administrators of this website:
  • Do not endorse or recommend any particular practitioner or practice listed on this site.
  • Cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information practitioners provide in their listings, linked articles or on their websites.
  • Cannot guarantee that any practitioner will be the right match for your specific needs or expectations.
  • Are not responsible for any actions, decisions, or outcomes resulting from your work with a practitioner.
  • Cannot promise or guarantee any specific results from working with a practitioner.
 
Client-Practitioner Relationship
Any issues or disputes that arise between you and a practitioner are matters for you to resolve directly with them. The administrators cannot mediate, resolve or assist with complaints, disputes or claims. If you feel a practitioner isn’t the right fit, we encourage you to explore other options in the directory. By using this directory, you agree that seaotearoa.co.nz and its administrators are not liable for any issues that may arise from your interactions with a practitioner.
