Mr John Hibbs
Therapist / Counselor (Qualifying)
“Specialist practice working mainly with boys with trauma history and ASD type presentations and general practice with adults.”
About Me
I offer a calm, supportive space for boys navigating trauma and ASD. We work together to understand their unique experiences and find practical ways to cope. My practice also welcomes adults seeking general support. I work under supervision, which ensures a well-supported and thoughtful approach to our sessions. We can explore feelings and build strategies, helping you or your child find a clearer path.
Approach
Working mainly with boys who have trauma histories and ASD-type presentations, I structure sessions around predictable routines and short, achievable goals so things feel manageable. In my Auckland room and via online appointments in English, I use steady pacing, concrete check-ins and simple tools you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger and steady mood. I keep sessions practical and collaborative, with gentle reflection and clear next steps. This approach suits young people and adults who value structure and practical change.
