Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Auckland

Kia ora koutou katoa. My name is Stella (she/her). I am a trained Psychologist with multiple qualifications to PhD level. I moved to Aotearoa from Argentina a few years ago and attained professional registration as a Counsellor. Key strengths and qualities that I bring to my practice comprise many years of experience in different settings. This includes adult mental health, community care and education. Currently, I am working in private practice, providing sessions in Spanish and English to clients from different cultures and walks of life. I offer talk therapy for a range of psychological and personal issues.

Hi, I'm a registered psychologist with 20 years experience of working with clients. I take a holistic approach (spiritual, emotional, physical and cognitive), and recognise that we all have intersecting identities. I'm interested in my clients’ individual story and believe that they are the expert on themselves. We are all unique and it's a privilege to work with a client to support their sense of self and wellbeing. I offer short and long term therapy from a lens that is cross cultural and draws upon a range of approaches and theories. I am also registered with ACC (New Zealand) as a provider (ISSC Treatment).

My therapeutic approach is particularly helpful to those with anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression.

I seek to meet my clients where they are, sensitively feeling into what it might be like to be you, with respect, openness and warmth. I have a particular interest in guiding individuals through the intimate process of working through emotional pain and early relational trauma. I tend to focus on what is happening in the client/therapist relationship. How do you feel about the way we are working together? What does the connection between us feel like today? Examining relational patterns in this immediate way can help us discover what it means to engage non-defensively and authentically with ourselves and with life.

You and your relationships matter—those with intimate partners, family, and close friends! When you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, loneliness, or other emotional pain, your well-being and that of those around you can be affected. You need a safe and nurturing space to explore and address your feelings. Your goal is to find relief, gain insights, and develop strategies to manage your emotions and unhelpful behaviours. If overwhelming emotions are affecting your connection, seeking joint, couples, or family counselling can improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen your bond. Adults and teens welcome in-person or online.

I am an experienced counsellor with a master’s degree in psychology and a postgraduate diploma in counselling. I work mainly with adolescents and young adults, and while I can support clients with a range of difficulties, I specialise in trauma therapy. My therapeutic approach is warm and collaborative, aimed at creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable and explore whatever you wish to discuss. I use a range of therapy tools and approaches tailored to your needs and preferences. Together, we will find ways to help you realize your potential and overcome life’s challenges.

Joanne Meldrum is a Counsellor and specialised practicing Psychiatric Nurse. The tools that Joanne provide are based on the four dimensions of well-being - Mind, Body, Social and Spirit. These dimensions are carefully considered when facilitating healing with clients, with the intention of improving self-awareness, confidence and compassion. When we make meaning of conflicting emotions, behaviour and thought processes, and acknowledge the effect of the pattern, we reclaim value. Joannes approach is to provide a framework and skills to practice that influences acceptance and responsibility to face new aspects of loving.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or are you worried, stressed, stuck or confused? Perhaps you have experienced trauma in your life. The trauma we faced yesterday can have a negative impact on our lived experience today, where we can feel hopeless, powerless and even struggle to live in our own skin because we think so low of ourselves. Perhaps you have suffered a loss and you just can't seem to find your way forward. Throughout my life, I have experienced a wide array of trauma, which is foundational to why I became, not just a registered ACC Social Worker, but also a qualified counsellor.
