Kia ora koutou katoa. My name is Stella (she/her). I am a trained Psychologist with multiple qualifications to PhD level. I moved to Aotearoa from Argentina a few years ago and attained professional registration as a Counsellor. Key strengths and qualities that I bring to my practice comprise many years of experience in different settings. This includes adult mental health, community care and education. Currently, I am working in private practice, providing sessions in Spanish and English to clients from different cultures and walks of life. I offer talk therapy for a range of psychological and personal issues.
My passion is to support people on a pathway to rediscovering a sense of joy after acute suffering. This includes recovery from both recent and long-lasting effects of trauma, which may involve struggling with intense emotions, low self-esteem and confidence, engaging in self-harm and difficulties in building healthy relationships.
I base my practice on a holistic approach, drawing on a selection of clinically sound methods including psychoanalysis, DBT, Mindfulness, trauma-informed, art and play therapy and indigenous models. In our sessions, we will explore what works for you and in this way, we will find the way forward.
