Individual Psychotherapy, Couples Therapy, Training & Supervision

Yve currently is unable to take new clients, both individuals and couples.

  • Welcome

    I am a Registered Psychotherapist who specialises in therapy for individuals and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.

    Psychotherapy
    Psychotherapy is about care of the soul.  It relies on the relationship developed in the room between therapist and client; and the unconscious aspects of self and other which arise.  It is most helpful for those who have recurring patterns of experience or behaviours in their lives, which may be causing grief or 'stuckness', but which may be outside of their awareness.  In other words, we don't know what we don't know and therapy helps to reveal us to ourselves and to find a way to live well.

Individual Psychotherapy
Yve practises individual psychotherapy from a psychodynamic perspective.  She values the opportunity to have a working long-term relationship with people who are 'working from the inside out' to bring understanding and change.  This is often when there are difficult and not understood patterns which recur throughout a person's life. Mostly, Yve views psychotherapy as care of the soul and the opportunity to be fully present in one's own life - both for self and other.

Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy is a very well-researched, structured approach to couples therapy founded in the early 1980's by Dr. susan Johnson. Using EFT, 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements.
Some couples come in to couples therapy very distressed (e.g. if there has been a crisis such as illness or affairs).  Others have been together a long time and want to feel closer and more connected. Others are in the early stages of a new relationship and want to learn new ways to connect.
Intensive couple sessions are available for couples who live out of the Tauranga area; and Yve also works with couples who live outside of New Zealand via ZOOM.
Conversations for Connection - a relationship education workshop for couples
These weekend workshops for couples work are based on "Hold Me Tight"™ by Dr. Sue Johnson.  They are helpful for couples who are distressed and also for couples who want to feel closer and more connected.
