In Person Therapists in Albany, Auckland
Kia ora, I am a registered psychologist providing therapy for adults in Albany, on the North Shore of Auckland, and in Parnell, near the city centre. I am also available for sessions online. At times, all of us feel overwhelmed, a lack of direction, or question where our lives are heading. Often it’s helpful to talk to someone outside our circle. Therapy is a space to reflect on our journey so far, build insight into how we got here, develop skills and approaches to cope with life’s challenges, and plan our next steps to move positively into the future and grow.

Everyone is faced with challenges throughout life and most of us experience some level of worry and stress at times. Therapy might be needed when emotional difficulties end up feeling overwhelming, last for a long time, interfere with your ability to function day to day, or if your actions are harmful to yourself or others. I fundamentally believe that troubling experiences and behaviours are inseparable from our social, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural contexts, and are understandable responses to our current circumstances, history, belief systems, culture, and bodily capacities.

Psychotherapy is a deeply personal journey. This journey is unique to each individual, where the journey may begin with seeking purpose in the person’s life or seeking to make meaning of life and its mysteries.

My approach focuses on giving attention to the emotional and the practical. This begins in offering a space to share your issues and concerns around what has led you to counselling and how they may be impacting you in life. We can then explore what is important to you and what your expectations of therapy are. Based on this discussion and understanding, we will strategize towards goals and outcomes that will formulate a plan you feel comfortable with, holding space for emotional processing along the way.
