Therapists in Christchurch District

8th Mar 23, space availabIe! I enjoy working with people from a diverse set of backgrounds and ages. I believe that therapy can bring meaningful change for those I work with. You may be wondering if therapy is the right approach for you, and not know where to start or what to say. That is completely normal! My aim is to create a safe space where we can explore what brings you to therapy. I provide a personalised flexible approach to help people get the most out of sessions, and offer practical tools that can be used in everyda life. I offer sessions outside business hours for those who need flexibility. Christchurch based or online.

With training and qualifications in Counselling, Psychology, and NLP, I will empower you to manage and overcome grief, trauma, anxiety, phobias, and low moods; so that you will restore and enjoy confidence, self-esteem, health, well-being, and better relationships. I work with adults of all ages and welcome cultural and gender diversity.

I am a trained Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and a Mental Health Nurse with over 18 years experience working in Mental Health. I  work with people affected by a range of mental health conditions and I am passionate about helping people gain control of their lives and empowering them to move forward. CBT takes a collaborative approach meaning we work together to reach your goals, giving you a good understanding of whats happening for you, strategies to be able to manage it and time to off load and problem solve anything else happening in your life.

I provide a safe, empathic, and collaborative space in which I offer psychological assessment and treatment to children, teenagers and adults. Treatment planning and interventions are designed with the client and outcomes are monitored. I have had the privilege to work with a range of people, to support and empower them to reach the goals they desire. I have worked with low moods, depression, anxiety, self-harm, loss and grief, stress, workplace issues, parenting issues, relationship issues and anger problems.

Do you find yourself lost in your thoughts? Are these thoughts constantly on your mind keeping you from living your life? Through life's obstacles and challenges, there is a story. You deserved to be heard for yourself or your relationship with your loved ones. Each journey with a client is unique. I am here to listen if you are experiencing anxiety, stress, anger or depression. When past traumas or present issues create road bumps in your life, I can work collaboratively to help you make sense of it all.

Everything I do in a session comes back to the premise of "unconditional positive regard" no matter what your struggles are and what you have done you are worthy of therapy and you can make changes. I really like to focus on your values and what are some simple changes you can make day to day to live a life that is value-driven. I work with clients that have troubles around motivation, mood worries, not being able to let things go, past trauma, trouble with parenting, postnatal and antenatal depression and anxiety and adjusting to parenthood. I also offer support in managing your day to day better, including work and finances.

As a registered psychologist with over 5 years of experience, I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds facing a variety of mental health difficulties, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive behaviors and early childhood trauma.

I believe that within all of us there are strengths and capabilities that we can access and grow to help us to cope with the challenges that modern daily life can bring. At times we can access these skills ourselves or with the support of loved ones, however sometimes, when that feels too hard a task, seeking the support of a professional can be crucial to regaining overall wellbeing. I am a registered psychologist originally from the UK and have been living in New Zealand since 2006.

Hi there, I'm Laura, registered counsellor for the past 14 years. I have worked with a variety of clients with an array of personal challenges with a special interest in working with families in addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety and depression. My focus is on facilitating and exploring with clients ways to develop their inner resource and cope with triggering situations, fostering therapeutic relationships and helping clients to achieve their goals and support long term wellbeing.

Alex is a New Zealand fully trained, Registered Occupational Health Psychologist. With her breadth of extensive training, research and internships, she has developed special interests in different areas of psychology. Alex's extensive training and experience allowed me to develop a commitment to excellence and appreciation of the vulnerability, diversity, and presentation of people. For her clients, her main assets are my approachable demeanour, emphasis on wellbeing, and straightforward appraisal of their unique needs and situation.

I have a particular interest in anxiety, especially social anxiety. Other areas of interest include: grief, trauma, relationship issues, career aspirations/transitions, anxiety disorders (in general) and men's mental health. I feel at times men get left "behind" in the health system and do not utilise services as well as they could so I'm keen to promote support around men's mental health and have done academic research in this area.

Although I have worked with clients of all genders, I am particularly passionate about helping males overcome the barrier of seeking help for common mental health concerns such as low mood and anxiety. With my wide range of experience, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for male clients to explore their emotions and find the help they need.

Kia ora, my name is Toni (ko Toni toku ingoa). I have been a counsellor for the past 10 years and early in my journey discovered my philosophy of counselling - "to be seen". What does that mean? For you to be seen in the room, authentically as you are, in a space free of judgment and assumption, for me to be seen in the room as I am and for that which is not yet known to be seen. I have been working with individuals who have grown up in families affected by addiction, those who are currently supporting a loved one in addiction and I volunteer for FDS Aotearoa. In the past 18 months I have worked as an ACC counsellor.
