Nau mai, Haere mai, tatou katoa
Helmut Rudolph, Therapist
Grad.Dip. Psychotherapy Studies, MHSc(Hons)

One of my main aims is to help you with the creative regulation of your instinctual emotional life. This helps in a variety of ‘problems’, such as :
Addiction and Craving
Anxiety, Depression and Rumination
Relationship conflict
Loss and Grief
Trauma and traumatic stress
Suicidal thoughts and feelings

While people often start a psychotherapy because of emotional or mental trouble, psychotherapy is fundamentally a growth oriented, soul oriented endeavour. It helps you to
🌼become present to feelings and sensations
🌼experience security and confidence
🌼express your creativity
🌼work towards expansion and contentment

Approach
My stance is that we are made of heart, body and soul, and that we are at our best when we are our best in all three planes.

In particular I support developing greater emotional self-awareness. I think it is important to regain trust and connection to our instinctual and emotional worlds.

Psychotherapy supports you so you are able to cope with the bad times and thrive in the good ones.

My approach is centred in relational psychoanalysis.
It is also strongly influenced by evidence-based Neuroscience, and spiritually-oriented Archetypal and Transpersonal psychology.

Some of the tenets of this practice are attunement, healing, insight, presence, and therapeutic relationship. You are protected by the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights.

We discuss your needs on an ongoing basis, and work with the intentions and issues that you bring. I encourage weekly meetings. Ultimately you decide what works for you best.

What you can bring to psychotherapy, to make it a growthful experience, are curiosity, integrity, courage, and hope.

Therapy space

Emotion is the sacred channel through which a directing intelligence enters the soul.
A powerful primitive emotion can effect an authentic psychological transformation if it is trusted, just as often as can a great spiritual transformation.
(Robert Stein, 1973)
