Nadine von Rothkirch

Director / Clincal Psychologist

I am passionate about assisting clients to make positive change, develop resilience and overcome personal challenges through the integrated use of evidence based techniques that are chosen to meet the requirements of the individual and their whānau.

In addition to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I incorporate Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Narrative Exposure Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to facilitate healing and growth. I work collaboratively with the client to ensure a shared understanding of their difficulties, and use strength based approaches to support the learning of new skills.

I am able to provide psychological assessment, diagnosis and evidence-based treatment for a variety of mental health and emotional difficulties, including Depression, Worry/Stress/Anxiety, Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress, Panic, Compulsions and Obsessions, Eating Disorders, Loss and Grief, and interpersonal / relationship difficulties.

I am an ACC approved provider for assessments and treatment for victims of sexual abuse as well as mental injury following physical injury, treatment injury or workplace accident.

My private practice is centrally located in Grey Street, Gisborne. Alongside my private practice. I trained in Germany and Australia and have worked in private practice and hospital settings in Germany for 5 years before coming to New Zealand in 2014. Here, I worked for Te Whatu Ora Tairāwhiti's Adult Community Mental Health Team before transitioning into my current practice in 2018.

My favourite things to do when I'm not at work include spending time with my family and friends, reading, and enjoying the outdoors. Come holiday time, we are keen trampers and campers and love to explore different regions.
