Mind Easy Bowden Clinic, at 44 Sandgate Avenue in Botany Downs, Auckland, offers a self-development programme called Mind Easy, along with hypnosis. The business says it does not offer counselling or medication. It describes the programme as a set of tools for personal goals and everyday issues, grounded in behaviour change science. The website offers a free initial consultation.
The founder, Martin Camilleri, is a former registered clinical psychologist who worked for more than 30 years, including in hospital and forensic settings, before leaving the profession to develop the programme. The business's own site says most of its clients have tried other approaches first, such as counselling, medication or courses, and it says results may vary.
Clients who have written about it say the programme helped them feel more in control, and one couple said it helped them through a stressful period in their marriage. Several clients have referred friends to the programme.
Our pick in Botany Downs for someone who wants a structured programme rather than counselling.
