**Please note: I am away on leave from 22 Oct - 22 Nov 2024** Ria is a Counselling Psychologist. She takes a no-bullshit approach to therapy, and will help you to grow thicker, better skin so you won't need to be in therapy all your life. While she won't judge you, she will take your problem seriously and tell you things things you likely haven't noticed and might need to hear. She understands that while life can be messy and tough, you probably have more control over your situation, mood and future than you thought. Ria has worked in DHBs, forensic settings and community mental health clinics on issues of depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, sexual abuse/offending, and relationship difficulties. She has a special interest in supporting clients to develop self-growth and healthy, meaningful relationships. Ria is an ACC-registered psychologist. Visit www.riapsychology.nz for more information.
