Ms Alysha Simonsen

Psychologist

Kiaora from beautiful Queenstown! I am a psychologist and I can help you to identify how struggles and patterns might be impacting on you living your life well. We all get stuck, which can make us feel alone and broken. If this is you, then please know you are a certified human being and you are absolutely not alone!

About Me

I am a registered psychologist in Frankton, Otago, New Zealand. I help you manage life transitions, anxiety, stress and burnout, chronic illness, and mood disorders. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based skills and clear, practical coping strategies.

Approach

Sessions have a practical, down-to-earth focus that pays attention to how patterns show up day-to-day and what you want your life to feel like instead. We move at your pace, trying small, doable experiments from ACT—mindful noticing, clear values-guided choices and short practices to test between appointments. Expect collaboration: gentle noticing of thoughts and sensations, concrete coping steps for worry, fatigue or overwhelm, and regular review of what’s actually helping. People navigating big changes, chronic health strain, attention differences or burnout often find this way steadying.

Basic Information

Services


I would be thrilled to help you with your mental health and wellbeing, and to figure out what things we can do, learn or change to help your situation - no matter where you are, there are always things we can do to make it better. I have no waitlist, and am always able to accept and welcome new clients, both face to face in Central Otago, and via zoom.

I use evidence-based, effective types of therapy, and my style is very practical - you will always leave our sessions with a plan.
