Dr Gavin Stansfield

- As a doctor, I worked in general medicine, community mental health, and hospice settings for many years.
- I have been a psychotherapist for nearly thirty years, working with a wide range of adult individuals and couples.
- I have supervised and supported psychotherapists, counsellors, doctors, nurses, and other health professionals for more than twenty years.

- If you are interested in working with me, we would usually begin with a phone call or online meeting of up to half an hour to decide whether I will be able to help you as a therapist or supervisor.
- There is no charge for this initial conversation.

I have a:

- I offer online supervision for small groups of therapists, counsellors, and other health professionals.
- I am also available for onsite group (or team) supervision within the western Bay of Plenty region.
