Kia ora, I’m Raphael
Based in Wānaka, New Zealand, I work with people & organisations in person and online in nine countries thus far.
While I am a qualified Counsellor I work a little differently from a typical Counsellor, I am also a coach, so I am focused on actionable steps to help people make positive changes. I have the knowledge and qualifications to work through some mental health challenges and addictions that other coaches don’t have the skills for, but I also draw on a range of alternative modalities and holistic practices when needed.
With almost a decade in Consulting and Board Positions, I bring a strategic lens to your health and well-being as well as to an organisation. I have experience guiding strategic shifts and developing cohesive team culture, as well as specialist education and consulting in Diversity and Inclusion.
I have worked with clients running sole trader businesses all the way to executives in large organisations to support them to thrive and to be the best leader they can be.
My Qualifications
I have qualifications in a range of areas including as a qualified Counsellor through the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors.
Current Psychology Major at Massey University.

I also have 3.5 year experience working with clients through Empowered with Raphael so let my clients results speak for themselves.
Additionally, I have specialist Diversity and Inclusion consulting experience, Board of Directors trained, as well as half a decade of experience as a consultant working on projects in both the public and private sector throughout the Asia-Pacific.
I have extensive experience to support organisations implementing well-being support, creating inclusive environments and fostering positive team culture.
