Brett Harrington is an ADHD specialist coach, counsellor and registered clinical arts therapist who has been dedicated to working with adults with ADHD since 2011.

​

She uses an approach that is ADHD friendly and tailored towards the individual. Her belief is that when we try to function in a way we’ve been told that we “should” we often meet with frustration and failure and that we are bound to be more successful when we live and work in harmony with our true nature and talents. Getting to know and accept ourselves is the key to accomplishing what we set out to do.

Brett does not do assessments but can help with issues linked to day to day ADHD management.

Masters of Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a way of attending to what troubles you. Together, through our therapeutic relationship we will do just that. I will bring my skills, experience and my willingness to know you and together we will find a way forward.

​

I support and work with adults from age 17 years old – all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, belief systems, backgrounds, experiences, and ways of living. Everyone can expect to be accepted and honoured for exactly who they are. Trained in Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I offer short, mid and long-term individual Psychotherapy as well as group work. My therapeutic style involves primarily the construction of a safe space in which to explore all the things that trouble you. To this end each therapy is unique to each individual client. We start with where you are and you can expect my curiosity, empathy and suggestions about interventions that have a solid basis in bringing about change. We will attend to thoughts, physical sensations, emotions and psyche as well as your practical daily functioning. Read more ...

BA (Psych), GradDipCouns, DipPC, CertPT, PMNZAC, Counsellor, Life Coach, Personal Trainer

At times life is really challenging and clarity is difficult to find, but it is possible in a private, accepting, and supportive environment where thoughts can be explored fully, without interruption.  Talking gives life to values, beliefs, expectations, memories and future ideals, and here is where perspective and solutions can be found.

​

It is my privilege to provide a confidential, encouraging, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts to gain personal understanding, insight, and direction. 

I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor, Life Coach, and Exercise Specialist.  I work with individuals, couples, families, and children.  I specialize in helping others to build fulfilling relationships, develop effective communication skills and connect with who they are.  I am also working with families to help build strong positive parent/child interaction, or I can work with children on their own to help them manage emotion and behaviour.

BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nurse/Nurse Therapist-Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Since qualifying in 2012 I have worked within inpatient mental health services (adults aged 18+) and more recently the perinatal community mental health team at WDHB.  During that time I have been introducing Interpersonal Psychotherapy to my clients and have found it works really well as a way to treat depression, anxiety and can be adapted for many other mental health conditions. I am also familiar with ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and have experience providing CBT Skills as a treatment.  Interpersonal psychotherapy or IPT provides a short term, attachment based psychotherapy that explores your interpersonal relationships and is based on the idea that your mood may also be linked to your relationships. Asking for help when you are distressed can be really hard, and IPT helps to navigate and improve relationships and social networks, see the link between mood and relationships and encourages a sense of autonomy; asking for help from others when needed. IPT is an evidence based treatment for depression and other mental health issues such as anxiety and eating disorders, it continues to grow as an intervention and can be modified and has evolved over time. IPT can be used as a standalone treatment, or alongside medication.  Read more ...
