I am Kristen Bayliss, Registered psychologist. If you are struggling with uncertainty and doubt, fear and anxiety and a rollercoaster of emotions and issues linked to major life challenges such as relationship or career, grief &loss, starting a family & parenting issues I am ready to help you. If you have been struggling with these issues your whole life I am the therapist for you as my approach is to go a little deeper and help you understand your ineffective patterns towards a reset. I use my years of experience along with tried and trusted techniques to help people work through pain and create a life they love. After 20+ years doing this work I still love meeting and helping new clients and am inspired by their progress every day.

I offer a person-centred, gender-affirmative, and trauma-informed therapeutic approach. My primary goal is to help individuals feel less stuck or overwhelmed. In addition to therapy, I provide clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists. I aim to create a safe, connected environment, collaborating with participants to foster capacity, insight, and momentum. When working with supervisees, I often focus on strengthening competence, therapeutic presence, and the supervisee-supervisor relationship.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
