Kia ora. I'm Nashme.

I'm interested in what happens when we lose touch with ourselves, and how we find our way back. My practice is informed by international training in psychology and the humanities, and I work with people navigating trauma, difficult experiences, and behavioural patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is compassionate, curious, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding and reconnecting with ourselves, not judging who we are. I don't believe there's one "right" way to do therapy. Instead, I weave together a diverse therapeutic toolkit so the work fits you, rather than fitting you into a rigid box. My approach draws from Humanistic therapy, Gestalt, trauma-focused work, somatic therapy, IFS, art therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, Brainspotting, Person-Centred therapy, CBT, DBT, feminist and multicultural approaches, and ACT. Qualifications: B.A. in Psychology (2015); B.A. in Social Sciences and Humanities (2012), Minor in Humanities (2014); NZAC Member; ACC Sensitive Claims Named Provider (Provider ID: PAS812). I support adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, body image, career guidance, chronic illness, depression, divorce, domestic abuse and violence, grief, LGBTQ+ identities, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harm, sexual abuse, spirituality, stress, trauma and PTSD, and women's issues. As a Named Provider for ACC Sensitive Claims, I can work with you under ACC funding if you're eligible. You don't need to have everything sorted before you reach out, we can talk through whether this pathway might fit, and what the next step looks like.
