Meet The Team
Eric Houghton
Registered Psychotherapist, BPsych, MGestalt
I came to New Zealand at age 8 and have called Wellington home for most of my adult life. My path to becoming a psychotherapist began not in a classroom, but through my own life-changing experience with therapy. After working for years in communications, broadcasting, and film, I discovered firsthand how transformative deep psychotherapy could be. This inspired me to make a career shift and become a therapist myself so I could share this positive experience with others. I went back to school, earning my Bachelors in Psychology and later a Masters in Gestalt Psychotherapy. Now as a founding therapist at Terrace Counselling & Therapy, I work with individuals, couples, and families using a relational approach focused on creating awareness and helping people become who they’ve always wished to be. I’m also passionate about group work, having trained facilitators across New Zealand to support teenagers building resilience and assisting adults grieving suicide loss, alongside co-facilitating groups myself. I welcome people of all genders and relationships to my practice.

Diane McIndoe
Psychotherapist
I am a registered and experienced psychotherapist. I earned my Honours degree in Clinical Psychology at Victoria University and some years later undertook retraining and a specialist qualification in Gestalt psychotherapy. Before establishing a private therapeutic practice, I had a satisfying professional career as a manager, consultant, trainer and programme specialist, in both corporate and government organizations.

Anja Striepke
Gestalt Psychotherapy and Art Therapy
My approach is informed by Gestalt therapy principles, which is emotion-based and awareness-oriented and ultimately aims to support you to feel in charge of your life, have a solid sense of yourself, and lead meaningful and safe relationships. All of you is welcome, as I believe that all aspects of you (even those you struggle with) have validity and a reason to exist. I will support you to understand yourself, find compassion, and learn new ways of responding to challenges. I do so by offering talking therapy which we can expand on with creative expression and mindfulness techniques to the degree you are comfortable with.
You can contact me via email [email protected] or phone 021 022 72 013.
