About Chris Irwin
B.A., P.G. Dip. Psychology,
Dip. Gestalt Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist of The Psychotherapists Board of Aotearoa New Zealand (No. 550871)
I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 25 years. I have also had a business career spanning construction, recruitment and organisation consulting. I have found this balance between 2 different careers has served me well.
For my clients, it means I have an in-depth understanding in how to support people to make internal changes, and also how to support them to ensure they live these changes in their everyday lives. For example, in relationship counselling understandings from the therapy room need to be experienced as changes in their everyday relationships. Or if you are anxious and tend to avoid certain aspects of life, you need your new understandings making positive changes in your everyday life.
Because of trauma in my own background, my experience working with these different approaches has been first hand and my work is based on what I have found effective for me.
Why Choose Me?
I believe in your potential for healing and growth. My integrative approach combines the best of modern psychotherapy techniques and mindfulness practices to offer a deeply personalized, results-driven experience.
Whether you are facing unresolved trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I am here to help you rediscover a sense of peace and purpose.
