Kia ora koutou. Sometimes everything can get too much and is hard to navigate. Sometimes the inside gets really noisy, and it becomes hard to operate. It is completely normal to experience and to get stuck in these times or perhaps notice some unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I'm passionate about supporting people to find their way through these times. Together we will explore your world. To help you understand where you are; see different perspectives; and help you find practical solutions; that will initially help you cope and then begin to move forward.

Kiaora. I am looking forward to meeting and working with you on finding your authentic self. I like to encourage you to become curious about yourself and where your thoughts and emotions come from. Or how you can cope with the problems that arise from everyday living. Life can really throw some punches and often you are not given a choice. My role is to be there for you, encouraging exploration and change and an ability to ride out the waves.

My experiences are in statutory, community and health social work including service management of social services. There are many therapeutic interventions available to us, but not all are useful. The saying 'one size fits all' doesn't apply here. I can help people setting reasonable goals and support them achieving their goals. I am interested in these areas: Talking therapy; relationships; low esteem and lack of confidence; stress and anxiety; social work supervision; life coaching and Christian guidance. Thank you for your time.

Tēnā koe, I’m Zoe (she/her). I’ve always been drawn to people and spaces that are outside of the mainstream, I value being truly seen and accepted by others, and authenticity is important to me. Before I was a psychologist I had some varied and colourful life experiences, and this informs my open-minded understanding and acceptance of others from many walks of life. I love being able to offer therapy as an affirming space where we can explore all the parts that make you you, as well as working on practical and evidence-based strategies to improve your life and work towards your goals.

Having been trained not only as a psychotherapist but also as a Yoga psychology teacher, it is my belief that life provides a journey for us to become more conscious, awaken our inner light, find our purpose, and discover our qualities and gifts. The philosophies I learned and practice suggest that we are holistic beings having a human experience, and that karmic events happen recurrently in our lives so that we can transcend egos, overcome suffering, and learn lessons that can lead us to experience peace and equanimity. If that resonates with you, I am here to assist you on your journey.

Are you frustrated, stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and burnt out? Perhaps your relationships are struggling and one of you has already checked out. Your partner says “I love you but I’m not IN love with you”. You feel more like flatmates than friends and lovers. And perhaps you don’t know how to fix it and you’re just sick and tired of being unhappy and you want to feel at peace with yourself, your partner and your life ALL not just some of the time.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
