Nick Arnott-Steel
Clinical Psychologist
ABOUT ME
I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over nine years of experience practicing in New Zealand and internationally. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate a wide range of mental health challenges.
My specialty is EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that I have been practicing for nearly a decade. I have seen first hand how powerful EMDR can be in helping clients process trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. My deep expertise in this modality allows me to guide clients effectively toward lasting healing and emotional well-being.
Alongside EMDR, I am competent in Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring each approach to fit the unique needs of my clients.
I currently offer in-person and online consultations. I will be working entirely online from the beginning of July, 2025. Book today for a free, no-obligation 30-minute phone consultation.
