Dr Derek
Child and Family Psychology
If you are challenged by life, whether this makes you frightened, anxious, depressed or angry and are willing to talk openly about this, then I am happy to listen. Then I will help you find your own path forward with understanding of the past, a vision of your future, and practical ways to achieve this in day by day practices or skills.
My interpersonal approach is to listen carefully to a person’s life challenges and then help them increase their use of their own personal strengths and capacities. The modalities I use for this will depend on your own engagement preferences. I do not find it necessary or useful to focus on deficits, traumatic details or perceived weakness. I am a registered Psychologist in New Zealand. You can find my current registration status at “Search the Register” at the Psychologist Board website: https://psychologistsboard.org.nz/search-the-register/
There is no problem, experience or thought you have that you cannot share with me. If you want to get past these blockages to a better life, then I am here to assist you on your journey. Pick your own session time and book with Fresha link
