Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to understand who we are and how to make sense of our experiences and relationships with others. It is an effective choice to alleviate mental and emotional pain for depression, anxiety and the lasting effects of trauma and early stress. Psychotherapy is not usually a quick fix. It does not make promises of instant recovery. It can take some time, but can provide fundamental and  long lasting change so it is worth the effort.

Lynne Holdem offers psychotherapy for fee paying clients and people who are eligible for Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) funded sensitive claims therapy. Lynne also offers some types of family therapy and support for new parents wanting to attune closely to the needs of their babies and toddlers.

Lynne has limited availability, and provides considered referrals to other psychotherapists if she is unable to see you.

Counselling

Counselling provides a safe and non-judgmental space to talk with some one trained to provide careful listening and reflection, to support your focus on feelings, experiences and behaviours that will help resolve personal challenges and make positive changes for your self. 

Alex, Deborah, Lilith, Lynne, and Margaret are experienced counsellors who can work with you on a private fee paying or under contracts with Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) providers, The Psychology Centre (TPC) and ACC Sensitive Claims.

Supervision

Supervision is a process which offers those of us who work in the helping professions a space to reflect on our interventions and the relationships we are developing with the people with whom we are working.

Psychotherapists are taught to recognize the working of the unconscious in ourselves, in other and in the relationship. This is very helpful for tracking processes and keeping awareness of boundaries. Essential for maintaining safe, ethical practice which benefits and protects the client and the helping professional. 

Monthly Supervision Group

Monthly supervision is a service for providers of therapy, inclusive and exclusive to LH&A.

Lynne offers this service for providers of therapy who wish to reflect on their practice with peers in a safe learning environment.
