Casey Williams, Psychologist

Ki te taha o tōku matua
Ko Ruapehu te maunga
Ko Putiki te marae
Ko Whanganui te awa
Ko ngāti tūwharetoa te iwi
Nō Whanganui ahau
Ko Casey tōku ingoa

I was born and raised in Whanganui.  I moved to Wellington to study psychology, and have remained since.  My thesis research explored why young people (living in New Zealand) engage in suicidal behaviour.

I am a registered psychologist (trading as Switch Psychology since January 2018).  I have experience working with children/young people and adults who have difficulties managing their mood, engage in self-harm and/or suicidal behaviour, substance use, harmful sexual behaviour, or when they have experienced a sexual assault. The first session provides the opportunity for us to meet, discuss your reasons for therapy, and to establish if I would be suitable to help with your recovery.    

I am trained in EMDR therapy for children/young people and adults, including EMDR 2.0, EMDR for first responders/armed forces, R-TEP, G-TEP, neurodiversity affirming EMDR, and treatment of grief, depression, suicidal ideation, pain, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, addictions, dissociation, and somatic dissociation. I am an accredited practitioner with EMDRNZ.

I also complete assessments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism (for children/young people and adults) and I am a specialist report writer for the Family Court.
