Meena Nassery

Kia ora, I’m Meena,

A registered psychotherapist offering therapy in Parnell on weekdays, and Milford ( North Shore) on weekends. I offer online therapy across New Zealand also. 

Many people come to therapy feeling tired of carrying things alone, or finding themselves stuck in the same emotional or relationship patterns. You may be living with anxiety, self-doubt, or the impacts of earlier childhood or attachment trauma. I offer a gentle, supportive and judgement-free space where you don’t have to have it all figured out – we can explore your experiences together, at your own pace.

My extensive training in sociology and psychotherapy enables me to hold both your inner (emotional) world as well as the wider (social) contexts of your unique life. 

What I can help with:

• Anxiety and stress

• Low mood and depression

• Unpacking attachment patterns

• Emotional overwhelm

• Relationship challenges

• Self-esteem and identity concerns

• Life transitions and adjustment

• Trauma-informed support

• Culturally sensitive support

• Burnout and work stress

• Coping and grounding skills

I follow a psychodynamic approach in my therapy, which means we explore deep-rooted and underlying feelings that often live in the unconscious. Together, we work to bring these feelings to the surface, so you can move towards feeling less stuck and less overwhelmed in life. I practice on an ongoing basis, with a regular weekly time set aside just for you, allowing us to build depth and safely engage in process-oriented emotional exploration.

At the heart of my work, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, heard, and understood.

I have supported many individuals figure out next steps, become more confident in making decisions, and guided them in attaining the life they want for themselves. The key is you – I’m here to challenge you gently, unpack with you and remind you of who you truly are. Reach out if you resonate with my approach. I am free weekends and most weekdays.
