Therapists in Auckland
I like to offer a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space so that my clients can identify what is and isn’t working well in their lives and support them in changing the things that aren’t. Throughout our lives, we all face experiences that challenge our well-being. These ups and downs are routine and shouldn’t make us feel ashamed or something we should handle alone. You will be in the driver's seat in all our work, and we will collaborate to find what works best for you.

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.

Do you feel mentally and emotionally stuck? trapped? lost? numbed? out of control? exhausted?
You are in the process of becoming. Yes, it might all seem hard right now. The challenge seems insurmountable, the struggle seems endless, and the pain seems unbearable.

Through this crisis, let us discover the life that you want to have, the relationships that you want to build, and the person that you want to become in the face of life's challenges, struggles, and pain.
