ONLINE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
We offer online psychology appointments in New Zealand with a clinical psychologist. Evidenced-based data have shown that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy in supporting people with various mental health concerns. Online therapy may not be suitable for everyone and is not a crisis service. We are happy to discuss your concerns and options with you in our first session.
​
The goal of psychology is to understand, relieve, and reduce psychological distress and improve overall functioning and wellbeing. Clinical psychology takes an evidence-based approach to clinical practice.

FOUNDER OF EMPATH
DR JERRY HSU, Ph.D
Kia ora e hoa. My name is Jerry Hsu, New Zealand registered clinical psychologist and researcher. I founded Empath because I believe that many people who experience psychological distress have nowhere to turn to, especially people who may still be meeting life's needs. Empath is a platform for adults anywhere in New Zealand who would like to talk to someone about their concerns and work collaboratively on psychological strategies to give them a 'boost'. We aim to work with you short-term so that many others can benefit from psychology. We work with various mental health concerns, which can include:
-
anxiety
-
depression/low mood
-
intrusive thoughts
-
stress
-
low self-esteem
-
distress
-
feelings of emptiness
-
feeling 'out-of-control'
-
interpersonal issues
-
and other mental health concerns
