Martin Putt Counselling & Psychotherapy
Psychotherapist, PBANZ
Verified
Sometimes we all need the space to take time out to reflect on what's going on with us; or to talk to someone outside our immediate family and friends, a trained and experienced professional, who can assist us to think and feel deeper into our life, work and relationships. As we do this we begin to feel more human, more in balance and more able to warm up to our own spontaneity, vitality and creativity in response to what is required- be it coming to some resolutions, developing or strengthening aspects of ourselves, moving forward, or 'leaning into' our lives in a more dynamic or committed way. Therapy assists.

Steffi Richter
Psychotherapist, MSc, PBANZ
Verified
Maybe you are here because you are struggling with something in your life, feel stuck, or overwhelmed with difficulties. Whatever reason brought you here, you will find a safe and accepting space with a genuine interest in who you are. A psychotherapeutic relationship is different to any other relationship. It offers a non-judgmental space with a trained and experienced listener for the personal exploration of your unique patterns and beliefs. Since such purposeful exploration has the potential to transform one’s life, I believe that anyone who is curious about themselves can benefit from psychotherapy.
Joanne Meldrum
Counsellor, MNZAC
Verified
I facilitate confidential conversations that open space for reflection, through focusing on what is important, what you accord value to and the developmental models of therapeutic change. The knowledge that I have developed, has led to an understanding that if your core principles/values are compromised, this can cause a lack of inner balance/harmony. I work with people to improve their relationship with themselves and others, by overcoming the barriers that get in the way of living a life of value, purpose and vitality.
MindFlex
Psychologist, MA
Verified
Being flexible in the way that we think and being open to change is essential for developing and strengthening positive psychological wellbeing. Being psychologically fit is the foundation of a vital life. We all have ingrained habits, beliefs, rules, behaviours and ways of thinking about the world. Some of these provide us the tools to navigate our lives in a positive and flexible way and some can be severely restrictive, impacting us all in unique ways, from complex mental health issues to performance related difficulties in our work and relationships.
