Dr Scott Peterson

Clinical Psychologist

DClinPsych

I am a clinical psychologist who believes in utilising a compassionate and client-centred approach to therapy. I have experience working with presentations such as trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, ASD and much more. I use evidenced based models of treatment to help my clients process difficult experiences and achieve their goals.

Some models I commonly use are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Structural Family Therapy (SFT) among others. I currently also work for Te Whatu Ora as an individual and family therapist working with some of our most at risk young people and families.

I strongly believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process and I will endeavour to find an approach that best fits for you. I am open and able to work with individuals, couples or families. Whether its difficult past events that you are struggling to overcome or uncertainty about what path to take in the future, I will do my best to help you both make sense of your experience and discover a way forward to a life that is more fulfilling.
