I have worked with a wide range of clients over the 8 years I have been in the mental health field. I acknowledge that we are all individuals who require a unique approach to therapy. We will work collaboratively to develop the goals you want to achieve in therapy whether that be developing concrete skills to use in your everyday life or delving deeper into the root causes of your mental health issues. I will be there to guide you and support you in the ways you need. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy if that's improving an already positive life or uncovering the reasons why life feels more difficult than it should be.

Kia ora and welcome. You will find a caring, accepting, and thoughtful space with a genuine interest in who you are. I am aiming to understand your struggles with compassion while appreciating your strengths. Each person is unique, and I adapt my therapeutic approach to meet your individual needs. Some people seek my help with the understanding that a longer commitment to psychotherapy is needed for deep and lasting change that has the potential to transform their life, while others come to address a specific issue within an otherwise fulfilling life, which can often be resolved in a shorter time.

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.

When we trust ourselves, we trust Life. We know we are meant to be loving, caring, and compassionate beings, who courageously trust in the love and abundance of the Universe. However, Life happens, and there are times when we forget this and feel lost! Then it can be too hard to name confusion, pain, grief, and loss. Luckily, music can speak for us! Stress, anxiety, and the pressures and challenges of relationships, family, work, and daily life can feel overwhelming. So we reach out for help to find our way back to ourselves. We want clarity about our issues and a safe place to explore them. We want help!

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.
