I draw from a variety of modalities including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Imago, EMDR , Positive Psychology, Eco Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. In our first session or two we will explore the reasons you came to therapy, your goals, history and create a shared understanding and direction for the therapy. Shelley obtained a Doctorate of Psychology and completed post grad work in Nova Scotia Canada in 2010. She is a NZ registered clinical psychologist & served in the role of Clinical Manager of a National DBT Service. DBT is an integration of western and eastern psychological philosophies and along with EMDR and CBT based prolonged exposure, is one of Shelley’s preferred therapeutic models for working with emotional regulation, complex needs and trauma.
