MHSc Psychotherapy (Child & Adolescent); GradDip Psychotherapy
Member of the Psychotherapists Board of Aotearoa New Zealand (PBANZ)

As a psychotherapist who specialises in working with children, adolescents (up to 24 years of age) , and their families, Shamaine offers a warm, safe space where young people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace — whether that’s through words, play, art, or simply being.

About Shamaine

Shamaine's approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy. She helps children navigate anxiety, behavioural challenges, emotional regulation, grief, identity, and life transitions. She also support teens through the complexities of adolescence — from stress and self-esteem struggles to peer issues and identity development.

Therapy with Shamaine is relational, playful, and deeply respectful of each child’s unique inner world. She also collaborates closely with parents and caregivers — because when a child feels supported at home and in therapy, real change can happen.

If you are looking for someone who meets your child with curiosity, empathy, and skill — Shamaine would love to connect.

Shamaine has particular interest in the following:

  • ADHD, Autism & Aspbergers, Bipolar Disorder

  • Eating Disorders

  • Breakup and Divorce

  • Pregnancy PTSD & Trauma

  • Depression & Anxiety

  • OCD, Panic Attacks
