Biopsychosocial Therapists in Auckland, New Zealand

My name is Shareen Birges & I am a social worker who specialises in online counselling. I have been practicing for over 15 years & as a result, have a broad range of experience. I have worked with adolescents & their families, adults & couples. I specialise in the care of people with cancer and chronic illness, mental health, dual diagnosis/comorbidity, trauma background (including sexual abuse/assault & childhood abuse and trauma) & people with offending behaviour & people living with BPD. Due to my extensive experience working with adolescents and young people, I have developed an ability to work closely with families & other professionals, whilst keeping the boundary of privacy & confidentiality. I believe I am approachable & create a good balance between challenging clients & allowing their therapy to flow at a pace that feel comfortable to them.

If you're successful at work, but struggling in your personal life with inner distress that you cannot resolve, contact me now. I can help you to see where you are stuck, break destructive habits, shift unwanted emotional patterns, and gain the tools and self-understanding you need to live a peaceful, purposeful life. My style is one of warmth, curiosity, non-judgement and depth. The work I do is not standard 'Talk Therapy', but a combination of the most efffective somatic, systemic, trauma-wise approaches available. During our sessions, you won't just discuss your troubles, you'll outgrow them. I deeply believe that every client I work with has what it takes to find healing, fulfillment, and the inner conviction to create deep, lasting change.

Auckland houses the majority of New Zealand's therapy community, with practitioners concentrated in Parnell, Remuera, Grey Lynn, and the North Shore. The city's housing affordability crisis — one of the worst in the world relative to income — is a persistent source of financial anxiety, and therapists frequently address housing stress, displacement, and the difficulty of achieving stability in one of the world's most expensive property markets. Auckland's large Pasifika and Māori populations require therapists with cultural competence around Indigenous mental health, collectivist family systems, and the historical trauma of colonisation. Te Whatu Ora — Health New Zealand provides public mental health services, with a growing private therapy community serving those with health insurance or the capacity to self-fund.
