About Deborah Lighter

I am a Pākehā psychotherapist with many years of experience supporting young people and adults in mental health care. I now work with adults and young people 18 or older. I have training in psychotherapy, psychology and counselling, so I can adapt how I work to suit your needs.
I offer both in-person and online therapy sessions.
I can help if you are struggling with:
-
Stress
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Relationships
-
Grief and loss
-
Life events or transitions
-
Identity (e.g. gender, sexuality, cultural, social…)
-
Feeling stuck, hopeless, empty or in pain
-
Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, PDA etc, no diagnosis required)
-
Disability and chronic health problems
-
Trauma
-
Migration
-
Burnout
While I am unable to provide a formal diagnosis for conditions such as ADHD, autism, or personality disorders, I can provide support in pursuing one.
