Psychologist Hamilton NZ - Counselling & Couples Therapy


---
I'm currently unavailable.
Please contact another counsellor on this website.
---

I am a Clinical Psychologist and I am also trained as a GP. I am trained and have experience in Attachment Informed therapies, Emotionally Focussed Therapy (EFT), Eye movement desensitisation and reprosessing (EMDR), Attachment Informed EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment based approaches, Trauma therapy, Interpersonal Neuro Biology (IPNB) Motivational interviewing, ACT, CBT and Psychodynamic therapy.

 

If you are experiencing emotional difficulties or behaving in a way that is not constructive, you may benefit from getting some psychological help. Together, we can explore your own behaviour and how you have dealt with past challenges in life.

 

Everything that happen to us from childhood onwards, with good or bad intensions, shape us and cause us to behave the way we do in adult life. Exploring how this has an impact helps you understand and recover from old emotional injuries. Exploring, understanding and healing gets you on a constructive path of better functioning.

 

Make contact, let me help you on this journey!

Wilme ("Vilmie") 

Online therapy

I use what works well in your case. I am able to use Zoom, Skype and Whatsapp video call. Zoom appears to be the most stable.

 

We start off by setting up a confidential and safe space, making sure that we have a back up way of staying connected if connection should drop. We make sure that we can hear and see each other well.Then we use the appointment time and space.

 

This options is an excellent option if face to face is not practical for any specific reason.



Statement concerning the coronavirus pandemic

COVID-19 NOITCE: It is very important to not disrupt therapy or delay to start. I am continuing with providing therapy in these ways:

 

   1) In my office in Hamilton East.I stay at a distance, do not shake hands. I wipe surfaces touched regularly. If needed, I provide wipes, tissues and a bin to dispose of these.

   2) I am used to doing, and well set up to do Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp or telephonic sessions.

   3) I communicate with clients ASAP if any of the conditions change on a daily basis.
   4) I have a QR code poster so you can sign in if that is your choice.
