“In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” (Carl Gustav Jung)

Welcome to “Dr Luis Gustavo Vechi´s” blog.

I am a senior registered Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Hamilton and a full member of the New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists.

Over 25 years as a Psychologist, I have been supporting people to manage and overcome their difficulties and to fulfill their potentials and vocation in life.

I am experienced in delivering psychological services for the following clinical issues: anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, trauma, loss, grief & bereavement, interpersonal problems, adjustment to change, and family & couple difficulties.

My approach is evidence-based and it integrates different schools in Psychology in order to meet clients’ needs and preferences. The Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Systemic Therapy and EMDR models are among the ones I ground my clinical work.

Collaborative practice with clients, transparency and commitment are the main values that guide my work.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked for different types of health institutions in New Zealand and Brazil and I am currently a consultant Clinical Psychologist at a forensic inpatient unit, Henry Bennett Service, Waikato Hospital, Hamilton.

For further information on the clinical services that I offer in my private practice, please visit the other sections of this blog. My services can be provided in English or in Portuguese.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm Regards,

Luis Gustavo Vechi, PhD
