I provide a safe and empathetic space to explore whatever you're grappling with be it mood disorders, stress related problems, sexual dysfunctions, personality disorders, learning difficulties, eating disorders or trauma.

I have first-hand lived experience of the cycle of addiction and can provide a non-judgmental, empathic and solutions-focused space.

My counselling specialty is working with people who are having problems with their alcohol or other drug use. I also work with family and friends affected by someone else's use of alcohol or other drugs. If you are curious about the impact alcohol is having on your life, I offer a confidential space to assess the pros and cons and explore options for change. Initially the alcohol and/or other drugs were probably working well, soothing distress and providing confidence and connection. Sometimes it’s difficult to know whether the alcohol is still the solution or part of the problem. It helps to talk.

Kia ora & hello. If you are feeling lost or stuck, psychotherapy can be helpful in uncovering & untangling what may be happening for you. Psychotherapy can also help if you are experiencing relationship and/or communication difficulties; if you feel anxious or sad for no apparent reason; if you feel stressed or affected by life and/or world events; if you are interested in a deeper understanding of yourself. In nurturing self-awareness for the past & present, old stories & adaptive patterns, your conscious & unconscious, psychotherapy can help bring about understanding & lasting changes.

My focus is on helping people make sense of challenges they are currently experiencing, clarify what is important to them, and take steps to make desired change. My approach to therapy is person-centred, collaborative, and aims to meet the unique needs of each person.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and I work with adults over the age of 18. I offer individual therapy in a safe therapeutic space where individuals can explore and understand themselves better.
