Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Auckland

I'm Jenna Cunneen, a psychologist with 20+ years of experience specialising in behaviour change for families, children, adolescents, and teens. I have a wealth of experience working with diverse clients of all ages and needs, I tailor my support to meet the unique goals and circumstances. Whether my clients are facing mental health difficulties, navigating tough life transitions, or learning to understand themselves, I offer guidance and evidenced-based support to help them achieve their aspirations. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, tapping into their strengths to cultivate resilience and foster positive change.

Having been trained not only as a psychotherapist but also as a Yoga psychology teacher, I believe that the events we have been through are part of our soul's journey towards wholeness. By learning from our experiences and transcending our suffering, we become more conscious, awaken our inner light, find our purpose, and discover our qualities and gifts. My approach combines the sciences behind Western psychologies (psychodynamic, transpersonal, etc.) with the wisdom behind Eastern traditions/ philosophies (Yoga psychology, mindfulness, etc). If that resonates with you, I am happy to assist you on your journey.

I'm Amanda, an integrative counsellor and coach from the London, UK and now living as a resident in Auckland, New Zealand. My approach blends the wisdom of various psychotherapeutic and coaching methodologies to better understand and tailor our sessions to what it is that's needed from our initial call, and what our best route is to help navigate the challenges at hand. This could be for clarity in conflicting areas of life, exploring emotional regulation methods or processing thoughts out-loud, in a safe empathic space looking at the bigger picture of what insights or solutions may arise.

I work mainly with adults online, using Zoom. My clients come from various backgrounds, including all sexual or religious orientations. I walk alongside you to decide on your treatment plan. If you experience depression, anxiety, work-related or relationship issues, you could benefit from my service. I work with you to realise your goals by working from an eclectic (various therapies) perspective to support you.

I love supporting clients to bring break-through and change to their lives and presenting issues. I deeply value journeying with clients to find the therapeutic approaches which are the best fit for them.

I consider myself an eclectic psychologist, focused on adapting my intervention to each person. I am not very fond of follow the trend of labeling with diagnostics and jargon, but rather to first understand the unique person with whom I am working with, and then adapt the working tools accordingly. However, over the years of clinical practice, I have found that the work of emotions is central to all processes of transformation and personal growth, thus this is an intervention tool much present in my therapy room.

I can offer short term and long term private counselling sessions for clients with issues that range from everyday life challenges to issues that are more complex. By walking alongside clients my goal is to support clients to develop strategies and skills to navigate and work through their personal challenges.

I offer psychotherapy in Birkenhead, Auckland and online. Psychotherapy counselling helps to understand who we are deep down, how our life experiences have affected and shaped us and how this sometimes leads to self-defeating behaviours, a lot of which happens unconsciously. These can manifest as stress, anxiety, depression or feeling overwhelmed - making life challenging.

I believe therapy is one of the best gifts we can give to our present, past and future selves. To our children, and those close to us. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I facilitate an exploration of how your life experiences might be alive in your current struggles and relationships. Often the ways we learnt to manage difficulty may now hinder, rather than help us.

My intention is to provide a warm, non-judgemental space for you to share aspects of your experience that you struggle with, whether you are troubled by a specific issue or have a general sense of dissatisfaction, unease or unhappiness. Together we can explore how experiences from both your past and present may be impacting your ability to feel fulfilled or content. By exploring your relationship with yourself and others, we can build skills and strategies together to help you find more equilibrium, peace and stability.
