Kia ora! I came to this work through my own lived experience – times in my own life when I felt stuck, uncertain, and looking for support. Having grown up in Aotearoa, I hold a deep respect for the diversity of people, stories and cultural perspectives here. I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space that is inclusive, culturally aware and shaped by empathy.

My professional background includes graduate training in counselling, psychotherapy, and psychology. I’m grounded in narrative therapy — a non-pathologising, collaborative approach that sees people as separate from their problems, and capable of rewriting the stories that shape their lives. I also draw on trauma-informed care, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and other integrative practices. In my work with couples, the Developmental Model creates the framework for sessions – working through gridlock and building healthier patterns of connection. Over more than a decade, I’ve supported individuals and couples facing everything from anxiety and communication breakdowns to sexual concerns, infidelity and parenting challenges. I welcome diversity in all its forms, including gender, relationship structure, culture and identity. 

My journey as a therapist is always evolving, but at its heart is a commitment to helping people feel more connected – to themselves, to each other and to a life that aligns with their values.

I respect your financial and time commitment to therapy. As such, you are welcome to book a complementary 15 minute phone or video chat with me to get a feel for whether I would suit you both. Following that, the first booked 80 minute session is a chance to explore each of your areas of concern and experience my approach in addressing them. If you are happy to continue I ask for a commitment of three more sessions to address the issue. Future sessions continue to be goal-oriented and committed to in blocks of four.

I am a relationship therapist, counsellor, and coach committed to helping couples and partners navigate love, connection, and trust. Relationships shape our lives, challenging and fulfilling us in profound ways. My role is to support you with clarity, compassion, and practical strategies to strengthen these vital connections.

My approach is direct, engaged, and collaborative—this is not a time for passive participation. We’ll actively explore the key influences shaping your relationship, from early experiences to attachment patterns and communication styles. By identifying strengths and challenges, you can create healthier patterns of connection and move toward the relationship you truly want.
I have a particular interest in relationships affected by infidelity, discernment counselling (for those unsure whether to stay or leave), and ethical non-monogamy/polyamory. These dynamics bring unique challenges, and I provide open, respectful, and flexible support tailored to your needs.

Drawing from the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Discernment Counselling, and ACT for Couples, I tailor therapy to each relationship—whether you’re deepening intimacy, managing conflict, healing from betrayal, or deciding your next steps.

• New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC)
• Health Coaches Association of New Zealand and Australia (HCANZA) (full registration to be conferred in March 2025)

• Developmental Model of Couple Therapy [training & clinical supervision provided by Couples Therapy New Zealand] (ongoing)
• Relational Life Therapy (RLT) [training by Relational Life Institute] (ongoing)

Alongside my work in private practice, I also teach part-time at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in the Bachelor of Health Science in Counselling programme.

My enjoyment of learning and expanding my knowledge means I stay current with new information that I draw on to work with couples and individuals in ways that meet you where you are. My style is collaborative and even if you present with differing agendas, as a couple, I will help you navigate the way forward.

I love busting myths around how a relationship ‘should’ be. Instead, helping you redefine what will work for you as individuals and as a couple. We can all get caught in patterns of behaviour that no longer serve. A pair of fresh ‘eyes’ on the dynamics can provide the shift towards rebuilding the relationship you truly desire.

Over the years I have studied and practiced various couples therapy models but none as comprehensive as the Bader Pearson Developmental Model.  This approach lends itself beautifully to addressing any difficulty in the relationship. In this model the therapist is pro-active and gets to the crux of the difficulties efficiently so that the couple can learn effective ways to negotiate life together.

I am a registered Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with over 20 years’ and have worked in senior clinical roles in private practice and a variety of national mental health services. I encourage a safe and reflective therapeutic environment where clients can work towards a more fulfilling relationship.

The post Adrienne Bartle appeared first on Couples Therapy NZ.

When working with couples I strive to help them develop intimacy and connection by improving their self-awareness, communication, conflict resolution, resiliency and empathy. I have a holistic, relational approach that looks at the couple and the individual in the context of their past, present and desired future relationships. I provide a safe and supportive environment in which I work alongside you both to help you become aware of your own unique patterns.

Our busy lives can keep us locked in old and destructive cycles of behaviour which no longer support our well-being and begin to limit our potential. I can help you to identify these limiting behaviours and develop new healthier patterns to strengthen yourself and help you create the relationship you desire.

I draw on a variety of approaches including the Bader-Pearson Model of Couples Therapy and Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy. These approaches share a focus on developmental and attachment-based models. I also work with ACC Sensitive Claims which is heavily trauma focussed. I enjoy working with a diverse base of clients and have a particular interest in working with infidelity, addiction, same-sex couples, polyamory, immigration and ACC trauma.
