Emily.West

Emily West is one of our Auckland Consultants

I am a registered psychologist based in North Shore, Auckland, working with clients face-to-face and online. I am currently in training with Sex Therapy New Zealand, bringing experience from providing evidence-based treatments for individuals across the lifespan dealing with a range of psychological difficulties, including trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, chronic pain, sexual pain, and health issues.

I am particularly interested in working with people who experience sexual pain that is impacting sexual functioning and intimacy. Additionally, I work with various sexual challenges and relationship and communication issues that individuals may experience. My approach to sexuality is holistic and grounded in the biopsychosocial model. I employ therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, tailoring my approach to each individual. This ensures my support is evidence-based, effective, client-driven, and aligned with achieving clients' most important goals.

I strive to help each individual thrive and feel empowered in their life and sex life. I am dedicated and compassionate, understanding that life can be overwhelming and that we often need to reach out for support to help us overcome different challenges. There is no problem too big or too small for therapy. If you are considering reaching out for therapy, please feel free to contact me today on the form below.

My fee is $200 (incl gst) per session. Please also be aware that once made, appointments not kept or cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged. This service is only available to people who are in New Zealand at the time of the consult or to New Zealanders overseas.
