From Doug

It is a privilege to work with both troubled couples and troubled individuals using EFT, a scientifically-endorsed effective therapy that can bring about transformation and rekindling of love.

I was born in Christchurch in 1955, and have worked as a psychiatrist since 1987, combining clinical work with an academic career at the University of Otago, Christchurch, from which I retired in 2022. I am now semi-retired and run a small private practice - both face-to-face and by Zoom.

I greatly value the NZ Community of EFT therapists for ongoing support and inspiration for my psychotherapy work. I also draw on experience as a husband, father, step-father, and grandfather; while primarily aiming to tune in to the unique set of issues and life circumstances that individuals and couples bring to therapy.
