Ms Justine van Rooijen

Registered Clinical Psychologists

“I am a compassionate and curious trauma informed clinical psychologist with over eight years experience working with adults.”

About Me

As a compassionate and curious clinical psychologist, I help adults navigate challenging experiences. With over eight years' experience, I offer a trauma-informed space to explore your thoughts and feelings safely. We work collaboratively to understand past impacts and build resilience. My aim is for you to feel truly heard and supported, finding your unique path towards healing.

Approach

Gentle curiosity shapes how I move through assessment and therapy, attending to both memories and bodily experience so change feels manageable. I offer sessions in Raglan, Waikato and by secure online in English, with a steady, predictable structure that helps people feel safe. Sessions balance reflective listening with attention to bodily signals and practical experiments; together we map patterns, try new responses, and adjust pace to what you can hold. This approach tends to suit adults facing trauma, life transitions or burnout who prefer a thoughtful, steady process.
