Online Therapists in Wellington

I specialise in treating these very problems and can do so with one-on-one therapy (in my office or via video call), or, for faster results, I offer an online program where you can get into video lessons with no wait and 2 video sessions a week.
Struggling with anxiety or stress? This could be social anxiety, health anxiety, fear of flying, panic problems or anxiety about anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or some nameless fear. You probably want to get out from the restrictions this places on your life.

Samuel Lindsay
Psychologist, PsychD
We all want to live a life full of meaning and purpose. But sometimes our thoughts and feelings, habits, and attitudes seem to get in the way. The struggle with thoughts and feelings often leads to self-limiting choices and habits. Whatever difficulties you may be experiencing, there is always the potential for change. Reaching out to someone with a compassionate ear and practical suggestions is a first step in the right direction. I am passionate about helping people who are struggling, using tools I have learned through years of study, combined with my own personal life experiences and qualities.

Sessions are online via secure video.
Are you struggling with anxiety, past trauma, difficult relationships or a sense that you keep repeating the same painful patterns despite your best efforts to change? Perhaps you've learned ways to cope, yet something still feels unresolved beneath the surface. I offer a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach for people who want more than symptom management alone. We can explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, and unconscious expectations may continue to shape your current relationships, emotions, and sense of self. The goal is not simply to feel better temporarily, but to create deeper understanding and lasting change.

I work with adults, young people from age 8, and family groups, in person in Wellington or online via Zoom.
I work with individuals across a broad spectrum of careers and career stages — from those building momentum early on to senior executives carrying the weight of high-stakes decisions and teams. Many arrive burnt out, stretched thin, or quietly aware that how they think and work doesn't match how they're expected to perform. I specialize in neurodivergent conditions, including ADHD and Autism, but my approach works whether or not that label fits — practical, direct, and focused on what actually helps you function and lead well. My own family shares these dynamics, so this understanding runs deeper than theory.

FAQ - About Online Therapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
