Stress
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
A certain amount of stress is necessary to motivate us in various life tasks. High levels of stress however wreaks havoc on our emotional, mental and physical health. And when stress is maintained at high levels over long periods of time it can lead to nervous system overwhelm and burn-out. You don't want to put your body or your mind through that. I should know, I've been there. And I can say with conviction that nothing in life is worth it.
Our work together involves co-creating a space where you can relax in the moment. In addition to this we develop strategies that will support you to deal with stress in your day-to-day life.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work with people experiencing stress, overwhelm and persistent internal pressure. Rather than treating stress only as having too much to do, we explore patterns around responsibility, perfectionism, boundaries, self-worth and how you respond under pressure. The aim is not simply to cope better, but to develop greater awareness, choice and capacity to meet life without repeatedly losing yourself in it.

Stress
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Chronic stress can leave you running on empty, wired, exhausted, and never quite able to switch off. If stress has become your baseline instead of the exception, let's work together to help you find a more sustainable way of living.
The first step in working with stress is understanding that your body's stress response isn't a malfunction. It's doing exactly what it's designed to do, just too often and for too long. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore your specific stressors and build a toolkit: somatic, practical, and emotional that actually fits your life. My approach centres self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and sustainable balance.
You don't have to keep running on empty. Let's take the first step toward feeling more grounded and at ease.

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.
