Dr JC Coetzee

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist. My areas of particular interest include mood and anxiety disorders, psychological trauma, problem behaviours and addiction.”

About Me

I provide a confidential and collaborative space to explore persistent challenges. I help individuals navigate mood and anxiety disorders, psychological trauma, problem behaviours, and addiction. We work together to understand underlying patterns and develop practical strategies for managing difficulties. Clients seeking a thoughtful, grounded approach find support here. This helps build resilience and find a clearer path forward.

Approach

Exploring persistent patterns often leads us to small, testable changes that shift daily experience. In my Auckland practice and via online sessions in English and Afrikaans, sessions are paced to suit you—direct, reflective and goal-focused. We identify triggers, try brief experiments between meetings, and build skills for managing low mood, anxiety and responses to past hurt. This approach suits adults and couples seeking steady, practical progress.
