Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy New Zealand
Psychotherapist, MSc, MNZCAA

Many patients who find me, have been through (and disappointed by) previous counselling or therapy. They are usually relieved to finally discover a clinician with the knowledge base & qualifications that I hold. Black & Indigenous patients have sometimes had poor experiences elsewhere. Clients who many clinicians refuse to treat, e.g., those currently on the non-offending spectrum of sex offender. Just 1 of many areas of expertise that makes me a rare, specialist psychotherapist. I'm a psychoanalytic psychotherapist-again extremely rare to find us digitally native-my practice, entirely online. I am NOT a Covid minimiser, again rare.

Helen Joy Flitcroft
My clients are often driven entrepreneurs who appear to 'have it all together' externally yet internally they are struggling with negative emotions, conflicted thoughts and/or relationship difficulties. This is impacting the quality of their decision making and effectiveness as a leader while also contributing towards a general dissatisfaction in life. Although I love working with businesspeople, I welcome all enquiries from anyone who has a genuine desire to improve the quality of their life.

Hi, I am a registered clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist and certified mediator living and practicing in New Plymouth, New Zealand. My primary focus is providing psychotherapy. Psychotherapy involves the careful application of techniques that help people change their behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and other personal characteristics in ways that enable them to thrive and cope with the stresses of living. I prefer to work with clients in person but if meeting in person is impossible or impractical, I can provide services online.

Anne Cullen
As a Life Coach, I won’t tell you how to live your life but I can be here to guide you along the path. I can help you to listen to and trust yourself instead of putting other people’s needs or ideas before your own. If you are stuck in a me-last mentality and it's begun to impact your health, relationships, and even your confidence, but you would prefer to make YOU a priority, then I can help! Imagine a life where you weren’t feeling pulled in every direction. One where you are connected with your purpose, doing what you love, and making the world a better place, but not at the expense of yourself! Sounds good, doesn't it?

How incredible you've made the first step and are on this website looking for the person to journey to the next level. Relationship is everywhere...it's what makes the world go round or halts your world. We are in and out of connection with ourselves, our partners/whānau, and environment. I believe we are doing the best we can with the skillset and information we have. Though sometimes our best doesn't seem like its enough or produce the results we desire. Often making changes in life is about getting new tools, adjusting our lens of the world, and adapting our beliefs and behaviors to feel safe to reconnect with possibilities.

By coming this far, you've already demonstrated a strong desire to make a change and take steps forward towards your goals. These goals could be your journey of self acceptance and confidence, your relationship with you family members, your relationship with your significant other or spouse, your parenting skills/style, your daily habits or even escaping the grip or a powerful addiction. I (Hamada Eleleimy) will coach you to identify your goals clearly and support your effort to achieve them.

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.

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.
