Helen Duyvestyn

Kia ora and hello! I'm a nurse who has been working in the area of mental health for about 15 years - with a further six years or so in a holistic health clinic. I use all my knowledge as an experienced mental health nurse, life coach and integration of lifestyle medicine to bring a holistic approach to support people experiencing depression and anxiety, mental health issues as well as those who simply require support adjusting or transitioning through a challenging period in their life. I hold a Master's in Health Science (Mental Health) and am a trained Life Coach with a certificate in nutrition, DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) and IDT (Interactive Drawing Therapy). I have also completed the Primary Modules in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine through ACNEM (Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine). I am totally passionate about getting to the core of mental health issues - and truly believe that this requires a multi-dimensional approach. You might be feeling overwhelmed with information on 'what to do' to support your mental well-being, or confused to know where to start. I will support you through a gentle journey of exploration as to what works for you, with a focus on getting you to where you want to be, in body & mind. Feel free to get in touch for a first session and we can go from there!
