Dr Chris Garrod

I'm a UK-trained Clinical Psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, a BSc in Psychology, and a Certificate in Education.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked in child, adolescent, and adult services. I am a specialist in neurodevelopmental and cognitive assessments and integrative and creative psychological therapy.

Since moving to Auckland 10 years ago, I’ve held senior roles within the Ministry of Education and Te Whatu Ora. I now work with Building Minds to support male children, young people, adults and families. Building a positive, supportive and understanding relationship is the basis for the best work, and we can work together to develop this.

Outside of work, I believe in balance and good living. I enjoy the outdoors—surfing, running, football, and rugby—and love spending time with family and friends.
