Family psychologist in Auckland

“The service is online, so do not visit the premises”

“My experience has been a genuine interest and support in a loving way. The wisdom that I get has had me thinking positive thoughts for me that I never saw, and because she is so genuine I believe her. Mary has always been a good listener too. I have always felt that not only am I being heard, there is a great deal of understanding. I have great respect for Mary and how she has helped me feel better about myself.”

“The most helpful team of people. Absolutely highly recommended.”

“Helpful and kind counselling services which helped to treat anxiety, and I appreciated the flexibility in having online appointments.”

“I came to Debbie at a time where I had lost my way and I wasn't in a good place. In a matter of a couple of months, Debbie brought me not only back to my old bubbly self, but a better version of me. Debbie always makes you feel so comfortable and its almost like seeing a very wise friend every time you see her. I am so thankful for everything she has done for me and I strongly recommend her and her services, she truly is amazing.”

“Best counsellor I've had, genuinely feels like she cares and wants to help and is incredibly understanding”

“Like anything that involves self development, therapy only works if you put the work in, but it really helps to have an amazing psychologist by your side to do this. I came to Thrive having lost myself and with the help of my Psychologist, Moira Howson, I am calm, content, more self aware and confident. She has been an incredible support to me throughout the last year and I couldn't recommend her and the team at Thrive enough. Melanie (who I believe owns the practice) is incredibly quick in responding when needing an appointment, the facilities are calming and I feel really comfortable coming here when I sense that I am losing my grounding. An exceptional clinic that changed my life, thank you ladies.”

“Pretty much everything u could ask for!! Patience perfect understanding of the problem and the best solution!!”

“Renee cares about her clients and goes out of her way to help you...I highly recommend her..”

“Juergen has been a massive guiding light for me. With his counselling, I have learned to embrace the highs and lows of life, overcome obstacles, overcome myself. I have learned to live fully, with grace and courage. I truly cannot express how stunning Juergen is not just as a teacher, but as a person too. He's incredibly authentic, wise, intuitive, and intelligent. His experience and kind nature creates such a safe space that nurtures growth and development in all aspects - personal, professional, spiritual, social, emotional, mental, physical. He is holistic and genuine in his teachings. He will gain an understanding of you as an individual, as to provide insights relevant to you and your needs, no matter what those are or how they change. Even in the most turbulent times, this kind souls words, lessons, and reassurances come through. In the beautiful periods of my life, I send so much gratitude his way because his counselling has taught me to notice and create these moments for myself and for the people I love. I could go on and on about how much I have benefitted from working with Juergen. I cannot recommend him enough. Sincerest cheers Juergen! I hope you're well”

“Alana is the best , she is such a good and kind person!!”

“Alana so kind person and help me a lot! She deserved a lot”

“I would definitely recommend Anxiety NZ to anyone. The staff are incredibly kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. From the volunteers up to the CEO, everyone in the team have a wonderfully inclusive culture. I have been involved with Anxiety NZ for almost 5 years, and have had nothing but positive experiences with everyone I have had the pleasure of interacting with.”

“I came to Zen in January 2018, I was stuck using a variety of drugs but the most debilitating was a government funded opioid substitution treatment which I had been on since 2015 for a heroin addiction. No other detox would take me due to dual diagnosis and the severity of my history and significant chance of relapse, I felt like I would never be able to get off. I was suicidal, lost and had no hope of ever living clean. I had my assessment with Lance at the end of 2017 and we discussed some treatment options, it was decided that I would stay for three months and then look into moving on into a recovery house. I was scared, detox is an incredibly challenging part of the process for everyone involved. I remember my first day at Zen, the nurse at the time was just gorgeous and supported me massively, bringing me medication and helping me to be as comfortable as possible in A BEAUTIFUL removed location in West Auckland. The peer support staff were patient and kind (and I was pretty hard work over the first month of my stay) and they kept encouraging me to keep going aswell as delivering me their message of recovery and hope. I was taken out to do things to keep my mind busy, a special thanks to Chris who was always full of ideas to keep me occupied. (The massage therapist Jodi is just beautiful) Post detox I stayed for another two months where I learnt to eat, exercise and function again as a human being, and I started to get involved in 12 step fellowships which have been a huge support to my recovery to this day. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for everything Lance and the team at Zen have helped me gain back, and the patience and understanding I received as an addict in early recovery. I love you all so so so so so so much and without the support of this place my recovery would be without a home. I plan to keep going back to Zen regularly to stay in contact and I've made life long friends. Could not recommend enough! And I'm so excited for what the future has to hold for this revolutionary approach on detox and wellness. I'm an incredibly grateful addict today because without my disease I wouldn't know what real freedom and happiness looks like. Give it a go, you might just find a life worth living.”

“A beautiful space with people who really care about other people. They have both male and female staff, all with great experience and qualifications to listen and provide appropriate models of care. Just give them a call. They also have courses run free for the community if you require, or want a group experience and there's always laughter from the rooms they are in, that I have overheard but not tried.....yet. counselling is so helpful for my issues and my counsellor provides the holistic healing I need. I really hope this helps someone else.”

“Very nice n helpful organization especially the staffs are friendly staffs like Kiran are mentors thank you so much Kiran very nice talented and professional”
