Depression Therapists in Auckland

As Bessel van der Kolk notes, trauma is specifically an event that overwhelms the central nervous system, altering the way we process and recall memories. “Trauma is not the story of something that happened back then," he adds. "It's the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside people.” I am a well-established health professional who has dedicated my professional life working on releasing trauma in a natural, nurturing way, returning my clients to their natural state of wholeness. I call this "The Journey Home". I work from a neuroscience perspective. Harmonizing all aspects of our being Mind, Body and Soul

Welcome! You've made the courageous decision to address the challenges in your life. If you prefer a short-term (4-12 sessions), solution focused approach, I might be the right therapist for you. As a clinical psychologist and personal development strategist (life coach), I'm committed to supporting you towards leading a more fulfilling life in harmony with your values and aspirations. I'm also a supervisor for a wide range of professionals. My interdisciplinary & multicultural background strengthened my passion to work with people of various cultures, spiritualities, and sexual orientations. I also speak Hungarian and German.

I believe that addiction is a primary disease and that a person's other issues will stem from this fundamental problem. Therefore it's important to treat the addiction first. People with addiction often use alcohol and other drugs or behaviours to 'cope'. In the beginning the substance or the behaviour (such as sex addiction) was the 'solution', but after a while it became the problem. My approach is to offer therapy that is focused on a new, results-focused solution. The goal is offering my clients 'tools' so that they can change behaviour that is causing problems in their lives.

My clients are often driven entrepreneurs who appear to 'have it all together' externally yet internally they are struggling with negative emotions, conflicted thoughts and/or relationship difficulties. This is impacting the quality of their decision making and effectiveness as a leader while also contributing towards a general dissatisfaction in life. Although I love working with businesspeople, I welcome all enquiries from anyone who has a genuine desire to improve the quality of their life.

I frequently work with the following clients - teenagers, university students, and adults. Are you feeling stuck within yourself, or your relationship with a loved one is strained and when you try and resolve it, the relationship actually gets worse rather than better? Are you feeling angry, sad or unfulfilled with your life and are ready for a positive change? I understand that challenges come up in work, in relationships, or inside of ourselves and I listen and share with you some new tools and perspectives to deal with your emotions and situations in a much more positive and helpful way.

The issue/s that you bring are likely to arise from either event or developmental trauma. An event trauma, such as a car accident, is easier to spot. Life was like this before the event, and life is now different. Developmental trauma is harder to spot. This is where from conception to now, events have chipped away at how you experience the world. You might find relationships difficult, have a sense of 'not really being here', or worry about being ‘found out’. You might feel angry, frustrated, or flat and rudderless. You may understandably be likely to self-soothe, such as using alcohol, to try to gain a sense of peace.
