Devash Naidoo

Clinical Psychologist: Ethnic diversity for Māori, Migrants, Refugees & Rainbow friendly

NZPB, MNZPsS

ACC Registered for Sensitive Claims, Concussion, Psychological Services, Training for Independence & Pain Management services.

psychsensenz@gmail.com

Board registered clinical psychologist with the New Zealand Psychologist Board (NZPB) and full member of the New Zealand Psychologist Society(MNZPsS).
Masters of Clinical Psychology with specialised focus on complex trauma, performance enhancement, as well as professional and clinical supervision.

As a community trained practitioner with a passion for respecting cultural identity I work from a culturally respectful person-centred foundation.

I have 14-years of practice experience as a clinical psychologist in four continents including Oceania, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

I believe mental well-being requires a shift in thinking and stigma often associated with labelling and pathologising. I work from a strengths-based and resilience harnessing approach to foster adaptive coping.

I hold expertise in complex trauma presentations and have a specialist interest in working with first responders, clinical supervision for health practitioners, cooperate and executive coaching and sports performance enhancement.

EMDR, BSP & DBT include some of my practice frameworks and I tailor interventions to the unique presentation of each client.
