A psychologist on the North Shore, in Albany.

I'm Brendan Vorster, a registered psychologist. Alongside my rooms on the Hibiscus Coast, I see clients in Albany, close to Rosedale, Browns Bay and Greenhithe, an easy stop off the Northern Motorway.

Who comes here

Adults and couples. Often people whose working life and home life have collided: a role that's ended or stalled, a leader carrying more than the job description says, a marriage under strain, a separation and what follows it. Also anxiety, low mood and grief, and people who simply want to make a good decision about what comes next.

Leaders and teams

Part of my practice is with leaders: confidence and judgment that hold under pressure, and how a team is actually operating. I bring more than two decades in organisations to that conversation, as employee, executive, business owner and consultant.

Practical details

Albany, North Shore, weekdays by appointment. Psychology sessions are $230 including GST for 50 minutes, and leadership coaching is priced separately (see fees). English or Afrikaans. Online works just as well, and my other rooms are on the Hibiscus Coast. People of faith are welcome; see Christian psychologist. More on how it goes.

When I'm not the right fit

I don't take under 16s, crisis work, court or medico-legal assessments, or ACC sensitive claims; I'll point you to someone who does. If you're in immediate danger, call 111. For urgent support, free call or text 1737 any time.
