Solfrid Gillman Psychology

Welcome to Solfrid Gillman Psychology, a reputable institution located at 352 Manchester Street, Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment dedicated to promoting mental health and well-being, we strive to provide exceptional services to our clients.

Please note that I am currently on leave and unable to take on new clients at this time. However, I will be more than happy to assist you once I return.

I am a qualified and registered psychologist with extensive experience in working with children, young people, and their families. I specialize in addressing various difficulties in different areas. My approach to therapy is guided by ecological and developmental theories, incorporating elements of strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, and creative therapies. Additionally, I have received training in EMDR and attachment-based therapies, enabling me to provide comprehensive and effective support.

My training was completed through the esteemed Child and Family Psychology program at the University of Canterbury. Since then, I have had the privilege of helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and acquire practical tools for personal growth.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse individuals, each with unique needs and characteristics. This has motivated me to continuously enhance my skills to ensure that I deliver the most suitable support possible. Having lived in Christchurch for the past decade, I have developed a deep connection with the community and its people.
