Therapists in Auckland
I provide individual counselling and couples counselling, creating a space with the potential to clear the obstacles to happiness. My personal philosophy is that since most of our wounding occurs in relationship, there is the potential to heal that wounding within the counselling relationship. I provide support to develop distress tolerance and emotional resilience to prevent the overwhelm that can occur when facing life’s challenges. I work with people with a range of presenting issues including trauma, abuse, family violence, addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and loss, including losing one’s way in life.

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.

This includes anxiety, depression, inattention, nightmares, wetting and soiling in younger children, tantrums, anger outbursts, separation anxiety and attachment issues.

None of us is perfect, and neither is life. That means it is completely normal to get stuck in an unhelpful pattern, to feel burdened by emotion, or to not know how to fix some problems.
At Resilience Psychology, our Psychologists across Auckland and Wellington understand that seeking support to enhance your wellbeing can feel overwhelming. We want to break the stigma which creates a barrier for many people to reach out. Building our mental and emotional resilience should be seen as normal as going to the gym or accessing medical services.

Anxiety can manifest as nervousness, racing heart, dread, worrying, low sex drive, sleep struggles, panic attacks, or stress. Depression may involve persistent low mood, hopelessness, numbness, guilt, irritability, isolation, suicidal thoughts, confusion, or increased substance use. Relationships with partners, family, or colleagues may bring challenges in communication, emotional conflict, trust, intimacy, or break-ups.
New skills can reduce symptoms and improve relationships. But long-lasting change and new choices in life requires better understanding yourself and addressing the root cause of your issues, even if it takes time.

We live in a complex world with many demands on us that affect our emotional wellbeing. Yet there is also a promise of creativity, satisfaction and growth in our lives. Individual therapy can help navigate our emotional blocks so we can experience contentment and satisfaction. Children experience distress that gets communicated either in their behaviour or their emotions. Yet behind every difficult behaviour is an un-communicated or unsatisfied need. Individual therapy can help give expression to the unsaid emotions and needs of children in insightful ways so they can continue to be curious, creative and playful.
