Dr Elize Coetsee's practice is a clinical psychology service at Orange Tree Grove, 4 Claudelands Road, in Hamilton East, and it works with individuals, couples, families and children. The website describes a solution focused approach, and its work draws on cognitive behaviour therapy, compassion focused therapy and mindfulness. The conditions listed include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder and burnout. The practice also has a second clinical psychologist, Dr Chaykham Smith, who has been in practice for over 19 years and has worked with children, adolescents and older adults in hospital, community and private settings.
Dr Coetsee has been a clinical psychologist since 2010 and has worked in New Zealand since 2018. Her interest is in traumatic loss and bereavement, and the website says she builds her work on the link between experience and change. Customers who wrote about the practice describe her as knowledgeable, sympathetic and easy to talk to. One says she has lived experience that helped, and another describes the support received as awhi. The practice is in Hamilton East, close to the city centre, and its approach is built around the particular needs of each client rather than a single method.
