Holly Coombes Clinical Psychologist

e. [email protected]

I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist with 18 years experience, including five years working as a specialist perinatal Psychologist in Aotearoa. I am of Ngati Maru ki Hauraki descent, and am a Mama of three.

I focus on understanding how our early relational experiences have set the “blueprint” for our current relationships with others, and with ourselves. I have a special interest in working with women in the perinatal period, and the early years of parenting. I am trained in EMDR, ACT CFT, and CAT modalities.
