Craig Gemmell

B.Couns., MNZCCA., Level 2 Additional Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)., EFIT Level 1.

Background

I originally trained as a photolithographer working within the print industry around New Zealand and South Pacific and got the opportunity to connect with many from countries and cultures far removed from my own. Officially leaving the print industry in 2010, I embarked on further training, a 3-year degree in Counselling in 2011 which I graduated from in 2013. Since then, I've worked as a High School counsellor, volunteered and worked within the Auckland Prison system as well as a contract counsellor to a number of West Auckland NGO's. I am now in private practice available for Online sessions only on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and enjoy working with couples.

Current Practice

I enjoy using an EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) approach. EFT is a well-researched therapy that provide positive results for both couples and individuals. It is an approach that identifies and privileges the relationship between emotion and human need. In navigating this relationship, clients will gain awareness and understanding to the source of certain behaviours and distressed states making positive change more likely, possible and long lasting.

I offer both short and long-term counselling with areas of special interest being transitions through ages and stages of life, anxiety, depression, strengthening relationships and problematic sexual behaviours including porn use, to name a few.
