Bergen Gell Counselling 67 Smiths Road, Matua, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty 3110
About the Business
Welcome to Bergen Gell Counselling, located at 67 Smiths Road in Tauranga, New Zealand. We are an establishment focused on providing high-quality counselling services to individuals and couples dealing with various challenges in their lives. Our areas of expertise include relationships, grief and loss, work stress, bullying and harassment, and group facilitation.
As the founder of Bergen Gell Counselling, I am committed to meeting you where you are and equipping you with valuable tools to navigate through life's difficulties. With two adult children of my own, I understand the unique challenges they face in today's society and the perspective of a parent. Additionally, my long-term marriage has given me a deep understanding of relationships and what it takes to make them successful.
In my personal life, I have encountered family violence, abuse, addiction, divorce, death, and blended families. These experiences have motivated me to continuously upskill and stay informed about the latest resources, theories, and research in order to provide holistic and effective counselling in these areas. My approach combines my life experiences with my professional training and skill set.
I am passionate about facilitating personal growth and helping individuals achieve their desired outcomes. If faith or spirituality is important to you, I welcome its inclusion in our sessions, but it will never be forced or discussed unless you choose to bring it up.
Before becoming a qualified Counsellor, I was involved in numerous Not For Profit Organizations, both in paid and voluntary capacities. My background includes being a Youthline Phone Counsellor, a Parenting Place Facilitator, a DARE facilitator, and a qualified Teacher Aide. I hold an Advanced Study Major in Grief and Loss and have received supervisor training. Over the years, I have attended various workshops covering topics such as family violence, mentoring for teenagers, sexual abuse awareness, complex trauma and grief, discovering your true self, mental health awareness, suicide prevention, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing theory, neuroscience, group facilitation, and cultural supervision.
As a FULL member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC), I adhere to their Code of Ethics and also serve as a supervisor. I bring a diverse range of resources to our counselling sessions, including practical help, recommended books, and websites to visit.
I offer counselling sessions either face to face for one hour or through online platforms such as SKYPE, ZOOM, and WHATSAPP. Additionally, I provide a small amount of text support during working hours once our sessions begin, as well as email support if needed. The number of sessions is determined through ongoing discussions, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported throughout your journey with me.
Take the step towards freedom and healing today. It's worth it. Contact Bergen Gell Counselling and let's work together towards a brighter future.

Reviews
"I have been working with Bergen for a few years. She has professionally helped me deal with specific problems that I have had.She was extremely helpful in helping me find solutions to various problems I have faced. Through the excellent help it is now possible for me to have a different and healthier approach to various situations. I would strongly recommend anyone truly wanting help to schedule in a session with Bergen. Bergen listens carefully, she is able to understand and provide insight . She was instrumental in helping me on my journey that is of life."
"I cannot recommend Bergen enough, She is professional and highly empathetic. She listened with kindness. I felt "heard" and respected by her. Bergen is highly skilled in her counselling practice and I felt safe with her. She guided me through my process that I had been stuck in for a number of years. I will always be so grateful for her work. Totally recommend Bergen to anyone.."
"There truly aren’t words to describe the positive impact Bergen has had on my life. During such a difficult time, she provided me with the strategies and tools I needed to change the direction in which my life was heading. She is extremely professional, clear of judgement and connection is the heart centre of her work. I found Bergen extremely approachable, caring, patient, and supportive which allowed me to be open and honest with her. I knew every time I set foot in her door, I would be greeted with kindness and an abundance of love and understanding. I’m very thankful to have found someone who cares deeply, and was willing to face the storm with me. Thank you Bergen, for reminding me that we don’t need to go through the difficult times in life alone. You are so appreciated and I'm very glad there are people like you in this industry. You are truly made for it! Highly recommend :)"
"I totally disagree with dessert stomach 's review! I was receiving counseling from Bergen for 2 years and to be honest I dont think I'd be here today without her support, encouragement and guidance! I would fully reccomend her to all who are struggling, she is authentic, kind, patient and speaks the truth with such gentleness and love. I always found her very professional and always felt very safe through our counseling sessions. It makes me sad that dessert stomach has posted such a negative comment in regards to Bergen's counseling. I encourage people to not judge based on the one bad review."
"The time I spent with Bergen Gell for counselling sessions where extremely productive, her style was a common sense approach, showing empathy, kindness compassion with a sense of humor when appropriate. Bergen walked along side me and helped me with feeling comfortable in my own skin. Counselling for me was challenging, I was reluctant to open up however due to Bergen's patience and insight she managed to get me to finally open up and become aware of who I am. I have learnt that if you want things to change first you must change, if you lack self awareness and look to blame others for your circumstances then you are wasting your time and anyone who wishes to help you. It is without hesitation that I recommend Bergen to counsel you. :):):)"
