Caitrin | Therapist

Online therapy

Qualifications and registrations

I hold a Bachelor of Science, a Post Graduate Diploma and a Masters Degree in Psychology. I was registered as a Psychologist with the New Zealand Psychologist Board (NZPB) and help an Annual Practicing Certificate for 8 years from2012-2019 after which I took time away to raise my now school aged son. I am in the process of reapplying for registration with the NZPB and will apply for an Annual Practicing Certificate (APC) for the year of 2025. Currently I do not hold an APC.

I have recently completed professional development with Dr Dennis Tirch in Compassion Focussed Therapy, a workshop with Dr David Tolin in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for anxiety related disorders and had a look at current research in the area of Psychedelic Medicine in a workshop with Dr Paul Liknaitzky.

I have attended Acceptance and Commitment Therapy workshops with Dr Russ Harris; one was a two day training workshop on the use of ACT techniques for psychological disorders and the other was a follow up workshop in the use of ACT techniques in anxiety disorders. I have done a Hypnosis workshop with Dr Bob Large, looking at the use of hypnosis for anxiety and behaviour change.

I have completed a two day course on the relevance of Maori world views and Treaty of Waitangi in the context of psychological health. I have completed a culture and cultural competency workshop looking at the importance of understanding different cultural views as a healthcare professional. 

Thanks to my time spent interacting with and learning from clients, engaging with the many tools available online and making use of the very important supervisor/supervisee relationship I also have experience in utlising the following therapeutic techniques: Narrative Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Relationship Counselling, Mindfulness, Meditation, EMDR Therapy, DBT, Child/Youth Counselling and Career Counselling.
