Talking Therapy
Psychotherapy and Counselling Centre

We are three diverse and experienced Registered Psychotherapists with a wide range of life experiences and professional backgrounds. We bring these together to provide expert and confidential therapy for a comprehensive range of personal issues.

Our services include short and long term individual psychotherapy and professional supervision.

Psychotherapy as it is known is a form of talking therapy. The therapy approach is based on the Psychology of the Self and the Conversational Model. All therapists belong to professional associations and attend regular clinical supervision.

Counselling

Counselling tends to be a therapy of shorter duration, looking at day to day issues and choices being faced.

Professional Supervision

The Registered Psychotherapists at Talking Therapy provide Professional Supervision for a wide range of people working in the helping professions.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a type of therapy where personal issues and underlying life themes, that may be impacting on the satisfaction and enjoyment of your life, are explored in conversation with your therapist.

Issues Treated

Anxiety

This year figures from the New Zealand Mental Health Survey show that one in four New Zealanders will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.

Codependency

The requirement of secure positive attachment has been understood in the world of the infant and the world of the adult as the precursor for adequate creative functioning in the day-to-day life of the individual. So what is attachment?

Depression

Feeling down or blue can be a normal response to events such as a relationship break up, losing a job, or having someone we are close to die. When those feelings become too intense or too prevalent and persistent then this could be depression.

Grief & Loss

There is simply no way to anticipate what grief feels like. It is one of those experiences that you can describe to someone, but it is impossible to really understand it until you are forced to live with it.

Trauma & PTSD

Experiencing or witnessing traumatic events such as sexual, physical and psychological abuse, natural disasters, accidents and war can cause highly distressing psychological reactions

Self-Esteem

Everyone knows what is meant by self-esteem. What is less known or understood is what causes low self-esteem or worth, and how to reverse this and grow positive feelings about the self.

Shame

Shame as an underlying issue in many psychological and mental health problems has not been well recognised. Even in the area of psychotherapy it has largely been ignored until relatively recently.
