Female Therapists in New Plymouth, TK
My practice is grounded in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, best described as body-centered, mindfulness based, assisted self-exploration. Explorations in mindfulness enable clients to access 'core beliefs': deep seated ideas and attitudes about self, the world and our place in it. Usually out of conscious awareness these beliefs influence relationships, self-image and drive habitual patterns of response and reaction. Exploring both the resources and limitations held within these old patterns, opens the possibility for increased choice and ease with ourselves others and the world around us.

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.

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?

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.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
