Craig Barretto

SPA Associate, Online Consultation

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist. I graduated from the University of Auckland with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours. Since then, I have worked across community mental health settings with adults and adolescents in Auckland as well as in London where I also worked in a forensic setting.  

I am trained in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for High Performance and Mentalization-Based Therapy. I have an on-going interest in personality, the impact of cognition and emotion on behaviour as well as cultural and relational factors contributing to mental health and performance for individuals and teams.  

I am a keen footballer, not-so-social netball player and I’m currently in the early, painful stages of learning how to snowboard. I also enjoy watching pretty much any sport that’s on but have particular interests in football, basketball and individual and Olympic sports. 

Paula is an expert in her field, she knows how to make you work your mind to the best that it can be. Nothing is impossible with Paula.
