Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work extensively with couples caught in repeating cycles of conflict, withdrawal, defensiveness or disconnection. Rather than deciding who is right or wrong, we look beneath the conflict to understand the pattern between you and what each person brings to it. The work supports responsibility without blame, clearer communication, emotional safety, trust and a more conscious way of relating.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
As an integrative psychotherapist, I support couples in navigating relationship challenges by fostering deeper understanding, connection, and communication. My approach blends somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment theory to help partners uncover and address underlying patterns, unmet needs, and emotional wounds that may impact their relationship. By working with each partner’s individual parts and the dynamics of the couple as a whole, I create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for exploring conflicts, rebuilding trust, and cultivating a shared vision for the relationship. My goal is to empower couples to move toward greater intimacy, authenticity, and mutual respect.

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.
