Debra-Lee Biggar

I have been a counsellor since the year 2000, with 24 years of practice in a wide range of mental health services in the Whanganui/Manawatu area. 


I began my counselling career as an Addictions Counsellor within mental health services  and I was the first addictions counsellor based within Primary Care (G.P’s) in New Zealand, and the Clinical Manager of the first Drug Treatment Unit within a Māori Focus Unit within a prison. 


Over the years I have managed a successful private practice offering specialty focuses for EAP counselling, family court, sexual abuse, forensic counselling, addictions and general counselling services.


I have had several clinical advisory roles, featured at the Cutting Edge conference,  successful ran a successful drug treatment unit which had the least exits and highest completion rates throughout the country.


My professional experiences allow me to be compassionate and understanding in the work I undertake. I have a great sense of gratitude for my role, and the healing, acceptance, techniques and guidance I can offer through my services.
