Therapists in Auckland
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.

I work alongside people who may be experiencing the impact of trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, grief, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Many come to therapy carrying experiences that have felt difficult to process alone, often feeling exhausted, stuck, uncertain, or emotionally burdened, while still holding a hope that life can feel different.
My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I aim to create a safe and grounded space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported to move at your own pace toward greater clarity, healing, and self-understanding.

Hi! I'm Alexi, A psychotherapist based in Ponsonby, Auckland. I work with individuals aged 18+ both in person and online, offering short- and long-term therapy.
I support people experiencing a wide range of concerns, from new or situational challenges to longstanding or recurring patterns that persist despite repeated efforts to change. We may also explore patterns that operate outside of awareness and contribute to feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, however I draw on a range of theories and techniques to inform my practice.

Kia ora, I'm Sheena (she/her) a Narrative counsellor and IFS (L1) therapist. If you are feeling stuck, it can sometimes be hard to see choices and options. A specific event or transition may be impacting you. It could be difficulties in relationships. Or, anxiety, depression, or something else, may be getting in the way of the life you want to live. I work with my clients, to create space between the person and the “problem”. Within this space we can explore how experiences and beliefs from your past may be shaping your present, identify how you would prefer your life to be, and discover the action that you can take to get there.

I understand that going to therapy can be difficult at times, so when we meet together I always aim to work at your pace and to be warm and understanding. My approach to therapy is pluralistic, meaning I have been trained in a range of approaches and can use them to fit your needs. Examples of these approaches are:
CBT (exploring the interplay of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours), Narrative Therapy (exploring how thoughts and behaviour are linked to stories you hold about yourself and your world), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (exploring how childhood experiences influence your life and relationships currently).

I am a clinical psychologist with extensive experience with a focus on providing therapy to adults and older teenagers experiencing a range of psychological changes negatively impacting on you and probably on those closest to you. These changes can include feelings of anxiety and depression brought on by the impact of external events, adjustments to changing circumstances or for reasons that seem inexplicable to you. I try to create a warm, supportive, collaborative and non-judgemental space for you to explore and better understand your current difficulties, and find a path to a more comfortable sense of well-being.

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.

I offer a warm, accepting and confidential space where you feel listened to. I am experienced in helping a diverse range of people with challenges impacting how they feel and live. These include feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, struggles with identity, low self-worth and self-esteem, questioning purpose in life, repeating behaviours, grief and difficult relationships. Psychotherapy helps us explore why we feel, think and respond the way we do. It expands our self-understanding, helps us to recognise and manage our emotions more effectively, improves how we relate to others, and can help us to accept things we can't change.
