MICHELLE BLYDE PSYCHOTHERAPIST
adult Psychotherapy IN ALBANY, North Shore, Auckland
HOW I can HELP
I am a registered psychotherapist offering in-person psychotherapy in Albany, Auckland, and online therapy across Aotearoa New Zealand.
You may be feeling anxious, lonely, depressed, emotionally overwhelmed, or life might not be turning out as you had hoped. Perhaps your relationships are troubling you, you're feeling isolated, relying on substances, or you don't quite feel that you belong. Many people come to therapy wanting to make sense of their inner world and life experiences. Psychotherapy is a unique space where you can talk openly about thoughts and feelings like these in ways that aren’t always possible in everyday relationships. We work together to understand your experiences, deepen self-awareness, uncover unconscious patterns and translate insights into meaningful emotional growth.
Part of my work focuses on how your relationships may be impacting you. I am passionate about working with adults in intimate relationships that are eroding their confidence and sense of self. I help clients to understand subtle, confusing and unhealthy repetitive relational patterns.
Relationships shape us from childhood and continue to influence us into adulthood; the same can be true of the therapeutic relationship.
MY PRACTICE
My approach is grounded in relational/psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness based CBT. In simple terms this means I explore how early relationships, thoughts, feelings and environments shape how people relate to themselves and others. My work is informed by both professional clinical experience and meaningful lived experience.
I have worked extensively with clients whose histories are layered and complex, including addiction rehabilitation, relational/attachment trauma, and emotional regulation issues. I provide an inclusive, and non-judgemental space where all identities, cultures and orientations are respected and welcomed.
FEES & CLINIC INFORMATION
I provide 50 minute weekly sessions for adults at $160
Sessions are available weekdays and evenings in Albany or online.
I offer WINZ-funded psychotherapy, and work with Victim Support New Zealand.
Qualifications: Master of Psychotherapy, Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy Studies (AUT)
Lets CHAT
Reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable, it’s understandable to have mixed feelings about this first step.
I offer a brief 15-minute phone consultation. This is just a chance to understand a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions, and get a sense of if working together feels like a good fit.
You’re welcome to contact me via email or text.
Look forward to hearing from you.
