Life Coaching Therapists in Otago
We 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.
As a body-based psychotherapist I involve the body and non-verbal cues and experiences to get you where you want to be, in addition to verbally exploring your experiences and developing cognitive tools to move you forward. Integrating an animal, such as Odinn, allows us to do so on another, relational and playful level.

Change happens when the mahi in-session gets applied out there in real life.
I work with people in mental health and performance, delivering sessions in person in Wānaka & online all over NZ. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, injury / illness, and stress. In the scope of performance psychology, I work with athletes. When I’m not practising psychology and getting involved with my community, I love to get amongst the ocean and mountains surfing, skiing, and mountain biking. I ground myself with regular meditation, travelling as much as possible, and time spent in nature with the people I love.

'Seeing Paul, there has been a noticeable difference in both my home and work life; I am now more confident, relaxed and a better person as a result'.
I always take a very practical approach, as reflected in this client comment: 'I come out from a session with hands-on tools to take away that I have already been helped to practice, and I can clearly see how they can be applied to my situation'. Working with clients, my first priority is to help them deal with what they are facing in the immediate moment.

Are you being held back from living the life you want?
I mix in havening and hypnosis which essentially dissolves away the trauma response leaving intact the objective memory and the wisdom - without you having to go into a lot of painful detail of the trauma. Your mind recodes and upgrades to create the life you want. You are in control always. Hypnosis brings your conscious and unconscious into alignment.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
