My name is Philip Yazbek, I am a registered Psychologist currently practicing in Auckland. I am a relational therapist and my focus is on building a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients as its often for many their first time entering therapy and many do not know what to expect. Creating a safe and non-judgemental space for my clients is important to be as we need to build trust for others to trust me with their stories. I use Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a primary modality and integrate other modalities such as Emotional focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational interviewing, DBT, CBT and others. There is no one size fits all, each client is unique and I believe in working with where my clients are at and taking it from there. I value authenticity, respect, and responsibility in my practice and enjoy empowering my clients to become better evolving versions of themselves.
