Dr. Hayley Walker-Williams is a practicing Clinical Psychologist with 24 years of experience. She is registered with the NZ Psychology Board and is a full member of the NZ College of Clinical Psychologists. Her clinical expertise include psychological disorders and specifically trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. She immigrated to New Zealand in 2021 from South Africa where she was a full-time academic/associate professor of psychology at the North-West University. She also consulted in private practice, an inpatient ward and as an EAP consultant. Hayley has published several peer-reviewed journal articles.
Her therapeutic approach is eclectic and trauma-informed and draws on evidence-based modalities like CBT, Psychodynamic, DBT, and TF-CBT as well as the new promising practice of Brain-Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) a short-term therapy designed to quickly and permanently rewire the way your brain reacts to stressors to reduce anxiety responses.
Her approach is tailored to the specific client’s needs, preferences, and cultural expectations. Hayley offers online therapy where you can consult from your own private setting and after hour consultations are available. Please send an email to book an appointment.
