About Me
Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Are you struggling with anxiety, burnout, past difficult experiences or trying to navigate life with neurodiversity in a neurotypical world? Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward, or are you searching for a way to live a more meaningful life? I would be privileged to assist you in navigating these difficulties, help you improve wellness, balance and live a more fulfilling life.
I am an Australian and NZ registered psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I am also registered with EMDRNZ and NZ Psychological Society. Over the years I have worked with adults, adolescents, children and organisations. I value warmth, compassion and creating a safe therapeutic environment where you can make meaningful changes to achieve your personal goals and improve your quality of life.
With a background in both the public and private sectors, I specialize in a wide range of psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, stress management, ADHD, neurodiversity, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, chronic health conditions, and relationship difficulties.
I employ a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet your unique needs, including:
- ACT Therapy – (Acceptance Commitment Therapy)
- EMDR Therapy – (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- CBT – (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
- SFT – (Solution Focused Therapy)
- CFT – (Compassion Focused Therapy)
- Mindfulness
I am genuinely interested in your story and the life experiences that led you to seek therapy. Whether you are feeling stuck or seeking solutions for a more meaningful life, I am here to help. My goal is to help improve the quality of your life by providing a safe space, compassionately listening to your unique story, and offering effective tools and strategies. I also utilize mindfulness and other strategies to facilitate nervous system regulation in our current highly stressful world.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time in nature, hiking, biking, yoga, reading, and just being with my three boys and our fluffy Maltese fur baby. I love walking local trails and exploring the mountains, where I feel grounded and find inspiration and clarity. I also cherish time spent at the sea, feeling the water and sand, and immersing myself in the surrounding environment. Having lived in both Australia and New Zealand, I feel a deep affinity for both countries and appreciate their unique landscape and cultural differences.
I look forward to meeting you, providing a safe space and working alongside you to create positive change in your life.

Naomi is dedicated to providing compassionate and tailored support to her clients. She integrates various therapeutic techniques to help individuals navigate their mental health challenges and achieve personal growth. She has extensive experience in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD/neurodiversity, and relationship issues. Naomi’s therapeutic approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness practices. Her focus is on fostering resilience and wellbeing through evidence-based practices.
Naomi has a deep love for History and Economics, which informs her understanding of human behaviour and societal influences. As an avid reader, she finds it difficult to choose a favourite book but highly recommends “The Body Keeps the Score.” Although she doesn’t watch much TV, she recently enjoyed the series “Schitt’s Creek.”
Naomi resides in beautiful Wanaka with her youngest son and their precious maltese/shih tzu cross, Loki. Loki is pampered and avoids going outside in snow or rain unless the snow is cleared or an umbrella is held over him. Naomi frequently travels to the Gold Coast and Wellington to visit her two adult sons. She enjoys skiing, hiking, biking, and most outdoor activities.
