Charlotte Lawson (Registered Psychologist)
I am a registered Psychologist with six years’ experience in mental health and wellbeing settings, including in leadership, consulting, training, and supervisory roles, working in multidisciplinary teams, and providing therapy in community settings. I specialise in applied mental health, providing therapy for people of all ages, particularly supporting parents with mental health challenges and/or their children to cope with the complexity of family life when impacted by mental illness. I believe strongly in mental health and wellbeing support that is person-centred, strengths-based, and holistic. I am also passionate about equitable access to care and mental health prevention work. I am committed to ongoing professional development and access regular supervision with senior clinical, counselling, and neuropsychologists to ensure that I am offering you the best support, based on up-to-date psychological knowledge. I am a member of the New Zealand Psychological Society (MNZPsS), and the New Zealand Special Interest Group for Neuropsychology (MNZSIGN).
I work within an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) frame, facilitating self-awareness and personal growth with a focus on your personal strengths and self-compassion, while incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and person-centred therapies. I have broad therapeutic experience including trauma, adjustment including to injury, cognitive rehabilitation and recovery from brain injury, life transitions, stress, anxiety and mood challenges, communication and interpersonal effectiveness, and work-life conflict or workplace issues. I have experience working with children and adults with ADHD diagnoses and with parents whose children have been diagnosed with ADHD, ASD, and other neurodevelopmental conditions
