Therapists in Auckland

I specialise in treating people with addiction, as well as their families. I believe the disease of addiction is one that we can recover from and that it's a health problem that can be treated successfully. My approach is client-centred using modalities including motivational interviewing, CBT and the 12 Steps. I studied at the Hazelden Graduate School of Addiction Studies in Minnesota, USA, graduating in 2009. I am registered with the New Zealand Addiction Practitioners' Association, Dapaanz, a professional organisation with a code of ethics. I am also a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT).

With 20 years as a counselor, I've supported diverse challenges, guided by empathy, passion, and compassion. Each day reveals new lessons in human resilience and emotional complexity. Every individual's journey has left an indelible mark on me, reinforcing my commitment to meaningful support. I'm grateful for the opportunity to accompany others on their path, driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of connection and understanding.

Successful counselling is based on the quality of the relationship between myself (the therapist) and you (the client). My approach is based on deep respect and non-judgemental acceptance for all people I work with. Utilising an element of creativity within therapy enables you to speak through art making, and reflection, because sometimes spoken words don’t exist for your experience. In my practice I offer counselling and arts therapy, professional supervision and coaching, and career development.

Are you going through a difficult time in your life and like support? Are you feeling stressed, worried, anxious, or overwhelmed? Are you battling an illness? Are you needing clarity and a positive change? I offer a unique approach based on my broad personal, academic, and professional experience, to help you move forward in a positive way and gain clarity. Together we work on the root causes of your problems and transform these, so you can feel calmer, more relaxed and peaceful and feel much better about yourself and life. I help you process trauma, safely digest unprocessed life experiences, and regulate your nervous system.

Tēnā tātou katoa. Welcome. Change can be very difficult, whether it’s happening around us or within us. It’s even more difficult if we or someone we care for are struggling or suffering. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can provide time, space, and safety to understand what we need to heal and flourish. Understanding alone may not seem enough, and it often isn’t. But understanding offers a place to rest and recover, to see where we’ve come from and where we’re going. Understanding shared with another person can be a powerful and effective step towards wellbeing.

Life can bring challenges that require a space to talk things over. This is where Counselling can be beneficial; by supporting you to make sense of the things you are struggling with, find ways to cope, and discover strategies to help. I aim to provide a safe place for you to explore these various aspects of yourself, including both strengths and difficulties. Life Coaching can also be helpful in showing you a way forward, clarifying your goals and values and helping you to explore your talents and strengths. It can show us where we might be stuck and make us aware of old patterns of bahaviour that might be holding us back.

Greetings. My name is Hamish and I'm here to support you in making peace with anxiety and strong emotions. My modality is a "bottom-up" therapy, based on awareness of emotions in the body. We can spend our lives avoiding, resisting, and guarding against unpleasant feelings and situations. My invitation is for you to find a safe, supported space, where you can learn to be present with your emotions, without feeling overwhelmed. You will learn to pivot from distress to calm, without ignoring difficult feelings, to relax and move THROUGH difficult emotions, and you will take the lead in your own healing.

I often hear people describe feeling unsettled, on edge or not their usual self after a significant health event (such as cancer). As a psychologist with training in health psychology, I am passionate about helping people adjust to, and recover from, these changes.

I have a special interest in providing longer term psychotherapy for those willing to commit to exploration of what is happening for them currently, how they have become the person they are, while considering what has happened in the past. The intention is toward better understanding and acceptance of one’s self, thus developing increased security and improved relationships with others. In particular I am interested in the nature of relationships, both in the present, and how these have been influenced by past events.

At HER therapy, I specialise in supporting millennial women liberate themselves from people-pleasing empowering them to prioritise themselves. I've helped women just like you uncover and express their feelings and needs, identify what they truly from life and go after it with confidence free from guilt and shame.

If you need help for your life transitions, decision making, goal planning, coaching, and basically moving forward in your life, I can help you using a holistic and strength based, positive and uplifting approach. Our past is dead data, so going through them over and over doesn’t help much. It just gives us clues to re-evaluate and move forward with clarity of mind and SMART action plan.
