Jessica Niemand
PGDipPsychPrac, MA (Psychology), BA (Psychology)
I am a registered psychologist, graduating with a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychological Practice from Massey University in 2011. I have extensive experience working in mental health services, Oranga Tamariki and, for the last nine years, in private practice. I draw on a range of therapeutic, evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and am a registered ACC Sensitive Claims provider.
I offer a warm and compassionate therapeutic relationship within which clients can explore their inner worlds, gain insight and develop skills that facilitate lasting change and growth. I am passionate about working holistically with clients and integrating principles of positive psychology and mindfulness in the enhancement of their day-to-day lives.
