Kia ora, I’m Meena, a registered psychotherapist offering therapy in Parnell on weekdays and Milford on weekends. 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. My training in sociology and psychotherapy enables me to hold both your inner (emotional) world and the wider (social) contexts of your unique life.
Client Types : Adults (18+)
Issues Covered : ADHD, Anxiety, Breakup & Divorce, Depression, Emotional Instability, Grief & Loss, Identity, Loneliness, Migration Adjustment, Mind-Body Counselling, Parenting, PTSD & Trauma, Pregnancy, PTSD & Trauma, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Social Anxiety, Stress, Toxic Shame, Transitions & Change, Workplace Issues.
Approach : I have completed a Bachelor of Arts (Sociology & Psychology), an Honours degree in Sociology, and Master’s in Psychotherapy. My academic and clinical training enables me to understand the nuances of your unique internal (emotional) world as well as your external (social) life.
I work psychodynamically, which means we explore deeper, often unconscious emotional processes that shape how you relate to yourself and others. This includes understanding your attachment patterns and the protective strategies you may have developed to cope with earlier relational experiences. While these defences once served a purpose, they can sometimes keep you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
Together, we gently bring awareness to these patterns so they can be understood rather than judged, allowing new ways of relating to yourself and others to emerge. I have supported many individuals to clarify their next steps, grow more confident in their decision-making, and move towards a life that feels more authentic and aligned. The key is you — I’m here to walk alongside you, challenge you thoughtfully, and help you reconnect with who you truly are. Reach out if this approach resonates.
