I offer psychotherapy in Birkenhead, Auckland and online.

Hi, I am a registered HCPC practitioner psychologist (UK) and registered psychologist (NZ) who has been working with clients for over 20 years. I consider a strong rapport and therapeutic relationship to be critical to facilitating positive impacts with my client and take a holistic approach (spiritual, emotional, physical and cognitive) to establishing and maintaining this. I appreciate that we all have intersecting identities and given the current dominant culture, part of these can be oppressed; either consciously or unconsciously. This can often be painful, and I offer a space for all parts of you to seen, heard and valued.
