About Me

Kia Ora, I am LaNae, a dedicated and compassionate registered psychologist based in the beautiful Tairawhiti Gisborne area. With over 20 years of experience working in mental health, I specialise in working with individuals aged 12 years and above. My areas of expertise include depression (including perinatal and postnatal), anxiety, panic disorder, stress/burnout, addictions, phobias, grief/loss and other issues. 

 

Outside of work I am married with two wonderful children. I have a passion for hiking and photography, finding solace and inspiration in nature's beauty. These hobbies not only enrich my personal life but also influence my therapeutic style, emphasising the importance of mindfulness, exploration, and finding moments of joy amidst life's challenges.
