Phoenix.Norden

Phoenix Norden is one of our Auckland Consultants

I am a registered Counselling Psychologist working in private practice in Auckland, seeing clients both face-to-face and online. I am currently in training with Sex Therapy New Zealand and have worked with both individual and couple clients presenting with a range of struggles within the area of sex such as desire, rebuilding after infidelity, sexual pain, sexual intimacy, and sexual identity.

I am passionate about working with clients to make sense of what they think, feel, and want in terms of sex and intimacy, and support them in communicating this to their partner(s). Or in the case of working with more than one person in the room, support them to collaboratively and respectfully cocreate the sexual/intimate landscape they want to have.

I take a client-centred, holistic approach to therapy, with each session being tailored to you and your presenting needs. I provide a confidential and non-judgemental environment and with my authenticity and warmth, aim to create a strong therapeutic relationship to assist clients in feeling safe to bring their genuine selves to therapy and work through what is important to them.

I utilise the Developmental model of working with relationships as well as incorporating skills from other modalities such as ACT, CBT or DBT to assist clients in reaching their therapeutic goals.

My fee is $200.00 including GST per 50-minute session. Please also be aware that once made, appointments not kept or cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged. This service is only available to people who are in New Zealand at the time of the consult or to New Zealanders overseas.
