ACC Team

Dip Couns. BA, BComCounsellor
Counsellor BA Psychology, Diploma of Professional Counselling

Angelina’s approach is holistic and person centred. I began my training and career in counselling in Auckland, moving to Hawkes Bay in 2016. I have worked largely in medical settings, helping clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression and stress. I recently moved into private practice, allowing me to take a more holistic approach in my work. My post graduate study has focused on the psychology of women and I began providing treatment for  ACC sensitive claims clients in 2021. I believe that everyone has their own standpoint (unique way of viewing the world) and I first look to understand your standpoint in order to support you on your journey.  

Membership: provisional member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC)

Modalities: I use a person centred and trauma informed approach to sensitive claims counselling. I am trained in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused therapy and draw techniques from these where appropriate.

M.A. Clinical Psychology - Clinical Psychologist

Bhavna Nagar started Alive! Psychology in 2012.

I am passionate about working with clients with the aim to help them to live fully again. I believe that living fully is our natural state and trauma stops us from living fully. I see it as my role to help bring clients back to their natural state of being - peaceful, happy and engaged. My focus in therapy is on Post-Traumatic growth, rather than post-traumatic distress.

Registered social worker with ANZASW, Dip SW. and Therapist CBT (post grad) Dapaanz

Patricia is a registered social worker, and much of her clinical practice has been as a therapist.  

I have been a mental health clinician in Hawke's Bay for the past nine years working with both adults and more recently with children and families.  My specialism is mindfulness and that is because I recognise the benefits it has had in my own life and in the lives of the people with whom I have worked.

My work has given me vast experience in working with anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, and trauma. I am experienced with both individual therapy and group work. I am registered with an addiction association as often people that I work with are using an addiction to manage their distress and pain.

I work in a person-centred engaging approach with sensitivity to culture and disability and will want to work with you to find the most effective treatment.

Modalities: CBT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
