I see normal people with normal problems. We all need someone to talk to from time to time to be assisted, advised and encouraged to deal with life transitions and challenges. I am an experienced psychotherapist and in private practice for 20+ years. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and groups, works client- and solution focused. It is important to me to strengthen strengths and coping skills that clients do have to positively empower them to face the challenges that they experience.

My name is Danica Freimond (pictured on the right with my husband, Sean). I am a registered social worker with a passion to leave people better than I found them. I work from the person-centred approach and place a high value on your innate ability to change and grow. Just because we cannot see a mental health problem, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Mental health should carry the exact same weight as a broken leg; you wouldn't walk around on a broken leg, don't walk around with untreated mental health problems; reach out for help! "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" C. R. Rogers

Support goes a long way to overcoming challenges and by creating a collaborative approach and basing the therapeutic process towards solution building and creating a hope filled future, perspectives can be shifted and goals set.

As a psychologist, I have a passion for assisting clients through psychometric assessment and therapeutic intervention. My aim is to provide assistance to the client and their system that they function in, enabling growth and positive change.

Why Counselling? Human beings are sensitive creatures. We are all going through challenges and tough times in life.

Are you unable to express your emotions? Do you find it difficult to cope with everyday life? Do you feel someone needs to just hold the space for you? Do your emotions paralyze your thinking? I can assist you on your journey to a healthier and happier you.

Trust the process of healing: a Person’s life experiences directly impact on their overall wellbeing.  When we experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for our lives to unravel. Often underlying emotional problems need to be addressed before a lasting improvement in a person's quality of life can take place. Christel completed her internship at 1 Military Hospital where she was exposed to various aspects of psychodynamic imbalances and trauma-spectrum manifestations within a diverse demographic and cultural client base.

Stress is our response to anything that throws our systems out of balance, and is intended to motivate us to make changes to restore that balance. This applies physically such as in cases of hunger, cold, injury, etc. but also applies to mental distress. Mental stress may be more subtle, but no less serious. Your body may be expressing stress in the form of headaches, muscle spasms, sleep disturbances, memory loss, and digestive problems like stomach ulcers. High stress can also lead to anxiety and depression and other mood disorders. Moreover, stress can also stand in the way of personal development and emotional growth.

You may be wondering about or struggling with life issues, chronic illness, anxiety, mood disorders or even with others in your life. If you experience relational difficulties, loss or problems with love, therapy may be beneficial to you. Or you may not have these issues but want to feel more grounded and have pressing questions or feel uncertain in which case you could also benefit from therapy. As I am in Auckland New Zealand, I am only available for pnline sessions.
