Weight Loss Therapists in Wellington, New Zealand

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight involves more than just diet and exercise; it requires addressing the psychological factors that influence eating behaviours and lifestyle choices. At Mind Health, our clinicians utilise a holistic approach grounded in health psychology to support individuals on their weight loss journey. By exploring the connections between mind and body, we aim to empower clients to make sustainable changes that enhance both physical health and mental well-being.

I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session. Weight loss issues can feel unrelenting, overwhelming and lead to disheartenment within. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your body to restore a sense of balance, happiness and inner peace. I aim to do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

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.
