Linden Cooke

about me
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and a full member of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists. I have completed a diploma of Adult Psychotherapy in the Conversational Model as well as a diploma of Counselling in Person Centred Counselling. I am part of the Dunedin Psychotherapy & Counselling practice.

I am also a graduate of a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology and a Bachelor of Physical Education with a major in Sport and Leisure Studies from the University of Otago.

I currently work in private practice, having previously worked at Student Health Services at the University of Otago and in a rural community counselling centre. My training is to work with people from 18 years and above.

I use a respectful and caring listening approach. I encourage self-awareness of one’s thoughts and emotions. I believe that health requires developing a relationship where one feels safe to discuss and explore all aspects that have contributed to the development of self. These include intimate and social relationships, family experiences and self beliefs.

I will encourage a safe and trusting relationship that aims for the promotion of unlearning and of new learning in a conversation between two persons. A situation is created in which problems are disclosed, explored, understood, and modified within a therapeutic conversation.

If you are hurting or wanting to make changes in your life, please don’t hesitate to contact me for further details.
