Casey Williams, Psychologist

Ki te taha o tōku matua
Ko ruapehu te maunga
Ko putiki te marae
Ko whanganui te awa
Ko ngati tuwharetoa 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 to address difficulties with mood (and affect regulation), self-harm and suicidal behaviour, substance use, harmful sexual behaviour, and sexual assaults.  I work within the community and at both Arohata and Rimutaka Prisons.

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 grateful for this opportunity and look forward to meeting you.
