My clinical background is in Psychodynamic psychotherapy with emphasis on Attachment theory and human development across the life span. Having an in-depth understanding of how our early beginnings impact our view of self, life, and relationships, assists me to support my clients toward developing empathy and compassion for themselves and others. I believe this can be an integral factor in the healing process and in attaining a sense of personal freedom.

On your best days, you want to and believe you can change the world, that is why you went into a helping profession. You are dedicated to your work caring for others. But it is hard work, and sometimes you struggle. Recently it feels like it has been more struggle than changing the world. You are beginning to wonder about burnout - does that explain your exhaustion? The stresses and strains of the global pandemic have taken their toll. Your work demands are overwhelming and you carry cares and worries for your clients home with you, and carry cares and worries about your family to work with you. You wonder about your career.

I am a registered educational psychologist with an interest in the emotional well-being of young people. My clients are young people who wish to manage their emotional responses such as anxiety and stress. I also work with children’s parents and teachers to design support for children. A key focus for me when working with young people, their families and their schools is the creation of safe and respectful environments for everyone involved.

I work mainly with adults online, using Zoom. My clients come from various backgrounds, including all sexual or religious orientations. I walk alongside you to decide on your treatment plan.

Kia ora! Do you find yourself experiencing emotional overwhelm, operating from high stress/anxiety, revisiting past experiences or encountering repeated patterns in life? As a counsellor and a somatic therapist, I offer a collaborative, compassionate and safe space to explore your present and past experiences and transform any limiting thoughts and beliefs, along with creating a space for emotional healing. I believe therapy can help us bring in more awareness in everyday life, that can lead to a greater sense of empowerment and well-being. We will work together to transform the areas you identify toward building a fulfilling life.

Gerry Douglas works professionally as an EMDR Clinician, Relationship Counsellor, & Learning Difficulties Remediation Specialist. His ethnic heritage is Scottish and Pacifika (Fijian and Samoan). He has a warm inclusive manner and more than 25 years of experience. Gerry’s professional point of difference, for both counselling and the remediation of various learning disabilities, incorporates resetting the neurophysiological substrate that underlies and facilitates behaviour. Many reasons for seeking counselling, and the underlying source of numerous learning disabilities, are directly linked to neurophysiological dysregulation.

I am a psychotherapist, a supervisor, and a sex therapist; these disciplines intertwine and inform my clinical practice every day. My approach is psychodynamic, which means that you and I will work together, which will help us to unravel the meanings and interpretations that sometimes are affecting the way we see our life and the patterns we find ourselves in. When psychotherapy meets sex therapy, this tool encompasses all and every aspect of a person’s expressions of life.

My approach combines professionalism, honesty, warmth and humour, without judgement. I take a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing, exploring lifestyle and health, as well as emotional factors. During the first session, I will spend time getting to know you and what has brought you to counselling. We will then identify what the goals of therapy will be, and together, build a strong relationship in order to help you achieve these. I will take into consideration who you are as a person, what your needs are and tailor an individual approach.

I work with a wide range of clients, but I have speciality interest in working with those who have had experience in fundamentalist or 'cult-like' groups. This may include experiences of religious / spiritual trauma, or a need to unravel past conditioning to find their own truth. I have training and extensive experience in trauma work. I also work a lot with people going through life transitions, or where there is a sense of needing to strengthen identity. I work a lot with people who find themselves somewhat on the 'outskirts' of the 'typical' - especially gender-diverse / non-binary and creatives, and many are also neuro-diverse.

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.

At Practice 371 we are committed to offering specialist inclusive care to those with concerns around their eating behaviours and body image. These can exist anywhere along a continuum from formally diagnosed eating disorders to problematic eating behaviours or exercise, concerns with weight and shape, or the effects of dieting and diet culture. Our team use a non-diet approach, and are aligned with the Health At Every Size (HAES) movement. Our priority is the respectful care of all people and the development of helpful thoughts and behaviours around food and bodies, rather than a specific focus on weight and size.
