Germinate Psychology

Welcome!

Seeking psychotherapy it’s a courageous step towards a deeper sense of well-being and self-realization. Whichever path led you here, take pride in your decision to work toward the change you want to see in yourself.

Hello! I am Daiane Coelho and since 2019 I am a Registered Psychologist with the New Zealand Psychologist Board and a member of the New Zealand Psychological Society. I have experience working with adults and youth in mental health and physical rehabilitation settings and I practice in English and Portuguese. You can learn more about my training and work experience
here.

Therapy becomes transformative when a person gains strength from the very experience that once made them feel powerless.

What will it cost

We will meet for an initial 20 minutes online session free of charge to discuss what kind of support you are looking for at the moment. You will have the chance to ask me questions and have a feel for the therapeutic relationship. We will discuss whether we are a good fit and chat about the frequency of the sessions and my professional fees. 

One hour appointments are $160 NZD (New Zealand Dollar and inclusive of GST) * Rates for long term therapy may be negotiable if the cost of the sessions is a barrier for you to continue therapy. I see clients in person from my office in Nelson, New Zealand and online via video call. 

I am also an Employee Assistance Program provider - three or more sessions funded by workplaces. 

Another funding option is via health insurance reimbursement, so please contact your insurer and check if psychology/counselling is covered under your policy.
