Individual Psychotherapy
Individual counselling and psychotherapy gives you dedicated one-to-one time to understand what is happening for you and to make lasting change. I see adults and teenagers (16 and over) in person in West Auckland, or online anywhere in New Zealand. My approach is warm, confidential and paced to suit you. Below are some of the areas I help with.
If you can relate to any of the following questions, then Tomas Counselling & Psychotherapy should be a good option for you.
LOW MOOD AND DEPRESSION
-
Ongoing low mood, tiredness, or loss of motivation and interest can be signs of depression. Counselling helps you understand what sits underneath it and find your way back to feeling like yourself.
-
Are you low on energy, motivation or sexual drive? Feeling down, bored or depressed? Having foggy thoughts? Would you like to feel more up-beat, clearer and content?
STRESS AND ANXIETY
-
Anxiety and stress often show up as a racing mind, constant worry, trouble concentrating, or feeling on edge. Together we look at what drives it and build practical ways to feel calmer.
-
Has life been too stressful? Too much on your mind? Scattered thoughts, difficulty concentrating, feeling anxious? Would you like to feel more relaxed, at peace and focused?
ADDICTIONS
-
Are you unhappy about your weight, body image, eating habits, drinking or drug use? Would you like to lead a physically healthier and more balanced life?
RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION
-
Are you unsure about intimate relationships, commitment, living arrangements or sexual orientation? Finding it difficult to communicate with your partner, children, family or at work? Could you be experiencing narcissistic manipulation? Would you like more harmonious, balanced relationships, stronger boundaries and greater confidence?
MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS (DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ADHD AND MORE)
-
If you have been diagnosed with a condition such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, borderline or obsessive-compulsive disorder, counselling can help you understand it and reduce the limits it places on your life.
LIFE SATISFACTION
-
Do you feel you are not living life to the fullest? Would you like an overall improvement in how you experience life, or simply to talk things through and gain new insights?
HOW I WORK
-
My approach can be described simply as Talking, Reflecting, Planning and Acting. Rather than only managing symptoms, we look at the root cause, so the change lasts. Sessions are 50 minutes, in person in WEST AUCKLAND or by video.
If any of this resonates, you are welcome to book a first appointment, or message me for a free 15-minute call to see whether we are a good fit.
