Therapists in Wellington

Welcome, my name is Gabriel (he/him). Whatever has brought you here today, I hope you find the support you’re looking for. Below shares more about me, my work, and the hopes I hold in this role. I love working as a counsellor because of the conversations that I get to have with people. While challenges in life are often part of these conversations, there is also space for the strengths, and wisdom that people hold in life. These have certainly added a lot to me and my work, and as a counsellor, I hope to offer support where people's experiences are heard, listened to, and are given the space to consider what could be possible.

As Bessel van der Kolk notes, trauma is specifically an event that overwhelms the central nervous system, altering the way we process and recall memories. “Trauma is not the story of something that happened back then," he adds.

I am a Nelson-based Psychotherapist offering short-term and long-term psychotherapy for adults, children and young people. My approach to working in therapy relies mainly on psychodynamic theories; meaning that I believe our early experiences (such as those encountered during our childhood and adolescence) have a significant impact on us. We may search for patterns in your life, to better understand what may be causing and perpetuating your problems. In long-term therapy it is crucial that you come to trust me, to share these often very personal memories and experiences.
