Dance / Movement Therapists in Auckland, New Zealand

Something in you already knows it's time. Maybe you've been living with anxiety that feels woven into who you are. Maybe trauma has shaped how you move through the world — your relationships, your body, your sense of self — and you're ready to start unravelling that. Or perhaps you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone. I'm Tony, a PACFA-registered psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and teens in person in Castlemaine, Victoria, and online across Australia and internationally. I specialise in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. My work is body-based and relational. Using Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal Theory, I help you understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you — and create the conditions for real, lasting change. This isn't about insight alone. It's about helping you actually feel different in your body, your relationships, and your life. Free 15-minute intro call available. Weekdays and evenings.

Welcome! I offer a broad skillset, and I work with professionals in high trauma areas and members of the public alike. Whether you are looking to focus on specific elements of your life such as career progression, or you are looking to balance your daily life, I am here. As a multiply qualified professional, I carefully blend best practice from multiple disciplines to co-create solutions, structure, therapeutic or creative space for you; as you need it. The time is yours; unhurried, nourishing, joyful, or structured and dynamic as you wish; book in for a free consult and we can explore what it is you are seeking together.

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.
