Gudrun Frerichs

Hello, I am Dr. Gudrun Frerichs, the director and founder of Psychological Resolutions Ltd. I am a psychotherapist, researcher, and trainer. I have helped individuals and groups to deal with issues of trauma-recovery, self-improvement, motivation, goal setting, communication skills, relationship breakdowns, and interpersonal difficulties. That enabled them to make positive changes and transform their personal and professional relationships through self understanding, understanding of others, and through applying effective communication skills.

Visit my website http://www.psychologicalresolutions.co.nz for information about coaching, psychotherapy, and courses. I have proven solutions for struggles with performance, communication, relationships, mental health, life transitions, and trauma recovery because I have extensive background and experience in researching the impact of relationships on people and their functioning. My courses focus on emotional intelligence and communication skills because research has shown that positive social connections are in fact the most significant contributors to happiness, well-being, and quality of life. My passion has always been to understand people. I am keen to understand why they do what they do and how they reveal their inner world through the way they communicate and connect with others. My latest research interest involves the structure of happiness and follows the principles of positive psychology that encourage people to build on their strength and create happiness and well-being through intentionally and actively focusing on the positive aspects of life.

I have researched how systems affect indithe recovery from sexual abuse through my PhD in Health & Environmental Sciences. The findings are being published on my blog http://www.sexualabusehelp.com. I have also investigated how severely clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID, formerly multiple personality disorder) handle therapy through my Master of Health Science (Hons.). The findings of that research have been published on my blog http://www.multiplevoices.com. I also hold a Diploma in Psychotherapy, a Certificate in Supervision, a Master Practitioner Certificate in Neuro-Linguistic-Programming (NLP), and a Business Diploma.
