Sarah Whitcombe-Dobbs
I am a Child and Family Psychologist in private practice in Christchurch.
My background and experience includes working in a range of public and private sectors, such as the Ministry of Education’s Severe Behaviour and Early Intervention services, and at the University of Canterbury. I work with families where there are relationship difficulties, developmental concerns, anxiety, or behaviour problems.
I have experience in working with people facing with multiple difficulties, substance use, mental health problems, abuse and physical aggression. I focus on working with people’s individual strengths and needs, and consider the whole person, their family, their culture, and their situation.
I am trained to work specifically with children and young adults. I am a full member of the New Zealand Psychological Society and hold a current practising certificate with the New Zealand Psychologists' Board.
