Danni Ridley (She/Her)

BACHELOR OF COUNSELLING AND ADDICTIONS PRACTICE, NZAC PROVISIONAL MEMBER

Danni is a 2nd generation Pākehā/tauiwi practitioner who grew up in the Te Whanganui a Tara/Wellington region.

Having recently become a mother to her daughter in November 2022, Danni is interested in the contradictions and hurdles faced with modern parenting. Including identity concerns, relationship changes, external and internal pressures, and lack of support. 

Danni believes we all possess unique inner strengths and works in a pluralistic manner - drawing ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy - to help the people she works with to find these, and use them to their full potential. 

She creates a safe and non judgemental place to explore different issues. Her interests lie in identity issues, relationships, grief, intergenerational concerns and anxiety. She previously worked in the Drug Treatment Unit at Arohata Women’s Prison - giving her experience in trauma, addiction and abuse. She works at your pace and is dedicated to empowering you through the peaks and troughs of parenthood.
