Sarah Ellis

Kia ora, I am a registered psychologist providing therapy to individuals to Auckland’s Rodney and North Shore district.

I can support with the following areas:

• anxiety
• depression/low mood
• lack of motivation
• stress and burnout
• relationship difficulties
• sexual trauma
• anger management
• adjustment difficulties
• personal growth
• problematic behaviours

Counselling/Therapy Services

My therapeutic support helps clients overcome life problems by helping them move forward, with self-compassion, in a valued direction that provides them with meaning and purpose. Where needed, I help clients develop insight into their concerns and/or skills and techniques to make positive changes in their lives.

Counselling/Therapy Approach

I use a range of therapy models that are evidence-based and aim to support positive change.

I incorporate concepts and techniques from the following:

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Schema Therapy (ST)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills
• Motivational Interviewing
