Therapists in Queenstown

Currently on leave until August 2023! Kia ora! I’m Nicola, a registered Psychologist based in Tāhuna/Queenstown. I currently offer services for adults online, with plans to provide in-person in future. I grew up & trained in Scotland and have also lived and worked in Australia, before settling here around six years ago. I have over a decade of experience in psychological assessment and treatment and want to give clients the best possible experience and outcomes in therapy. In particular, I am passionate about helping people to deal with addictions, relationship difficulties, family violence, mood and anxiety disorders, and trauma.

Kiaora! I am a Psychologist in beautiful Queenstown! I offer both zoom or face-to-face therapy on weekday evenings. I can help you to identify how your struggles might be impacting on you living your life with meaning. We all get stuck sometimes and life gets really hard for us all. In these times things can often shrink, and make us feel alone and broken. If this is you, then please know you are a certified human being and you are absolutely not alone - we all have suffering, and its my passion to help people turn this pain into growth. To do this I use a psychological therapy called ‘ACT’ - Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

Kia Ora! My name is Jess and I am a somatic counsellor, sensorimotor psychotherapist, and creative arts therapist. I work with adult clients across the whole wellbeing spectrum: from people who want to get more out of their life, find a deeper sense of self, or connect to their body; to those that have experienced trauma, struggling with basic tasks of daily living. Many have found traditional cognition based talk therapy less helpful or do not know yet how to put their experiences into words. No matter your reasons or motivations, I am here to create a space in which we can explore where you are, what you want, and what you need.

As a clinical psychologist and certified anxiety coach I help women who are tired of anxiety or depression getting in the way of everything they do. I support those who are passionate and wanting more from their relationships and their lives, but are feeling held back by mental health concerns.

I support career and business women who want to scale their dreams but find anxiety keeps getting in the way...

I help them to accept their true identity and place in the community and cope with the changes connected with real-life transitioning and fulfilment of their desires to live a happy and stress-free life.

I am here to support you and make the process as comfortable as possible. Perhaps there is something specific you are wanting improve, like relationships, stress, substance abuse, or anxiety.

As Bessel van der Kolk notes, trauma is specifically an event that overwhelms the central nervous system, altering the way we process and recall memories. “Trauma is not the story of something that happened back then," he adds. "It's the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside people.” I am a well-established health professional who has dedicated my professional life working on releasing trauma in a natural, nurturing way, returning my clients to their natural state of wholeness. I call this "The Journey Home". I work from a neuroscience perspective. Harmonizing all aspects of our being Mind, Body and Soul
