Lewis Marchant

Registered Psychotherapist - Christchurch and Rural New Zealand

“Lewis has been a wonderful psychotherapist to me—he is kind, understanding, and clearly genuinely cares. Though my background is different to his, I felt very seen and also constructively challenged. I always looked forward to our weekly sessions and his wise and gentle presence. He supported me through a difficult time in my life, and I’ve found the insights I gleaned to be continually valuable. I would highly recommend him to anyone.” – Previous Client

We all face troubles at some time in our lives – with our work, relationships, family, or with ourselves – and finding a mental health professional who is relatable can be difficult.
