Psychologist
Kia ora! My name is Milena, I am a registered Clinical Psychologist originally from France and currently based in Auckland.
I have built my clinical experience across a range of settings including inpatient psychiatry, child protection services, forensic services, community mental health, and private practice. A significant part of my career has been working with people who have experienced trauma, abuse, and sexual violence, at different stages of life and in a wide range of circumstances.I work with teenagers, adults, couples, and families, and offer sessions in both English and French, online or in person.
My training is rooted in psychodynamic practice, and I hold a qualification in family therapy and systemic practices. I work integratively, drawing on different approaches and adapting my practice to each person’s needs and therapeutic goals.
The therapeutic relationship is central to my work.
