Kiaora, Welcome
I am a therapist who provides psycho-therapy oriented counselling on Waiheke Island
Some of the issues I can help with are
Addiction and Craving
Anxiety and Depression
Relationships
Emotional expression and regulation
Loss and Grief
Personal growth
Recovery from trauma
There are many benefits to therapy
Outcomes include
🔅becoming present to feelings and sensations
🔅experiencing security
🔅expressing your creativity
Approach
We will discuss your needs in the first session, and that can be an ongoing conversation
I work with the intentions and issues that you bring
The style is conversational and relational
I do not employ hypnosis or physical touch
Some of the tenets of this practice are attunement, healing, insight, presence, and relationship
The underlying approach is modern psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is informed by 130 years of philosophical development, and by evidence-based research from Neuroscience and Cognitive psychology (CBT, DBT)
It is compatible with Spirituality
I follow the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights
