Therapists in Auckland
If you need help for your life transitions, decision making, goal planning, coaching, and basically moving forward in your life, I can help you using a holistic and strength based, positive and uplifting approach. Our past is dead data, so going through them over and over doesn’t help much. It just gives us clues to re-evaluate and move forward with clarity of mind and SMART action plan.

I empower people to make productive changes in their life. I work within the unique physical, mental, and emotional contexts of an individual, but pay particular attention to working through mental and emotional blocks that keep people from living a life full of health, vitality, and happiness. The core of what I do is reconnecting clients with their body so that they learn how to listen to their body and the wisdom it has to offer. We may not always like what we find there, but getting into our body transforms the way we relate to our mind, body, and the world.

Therapy is a space in which we think about you, and in doing so, co-create a hopeful space, to cultivate change to support your emotional and mental wellbeing. I work with people from all walks of life that are experiencing emotional difficulties (e.g., depression / anxiety/ anger management issues), or difficult life circumstances (e.g., divorce/ immigration / grief). I have a special interest in sexual trauma, trauma recovery and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I also have experience in supporting neuro-diverse children, young adults, and their families in various educational environments.

Welcome to my practice. I am a registered clinical psychologist, offering long and short-term psychotherapy to adults and couples. I view issues and challenges brought to therapy through a holistic lens and believe that body, mind and spirit are all equally important for optimal well-being. I have a special interest in working with couples and individuals dealing with issues related to relationships and sex. When it comes to couples therapy, areas that I have a particular interest in include sexual issues like desire discrepancy and loss of sexual pleasure and enjoyment, lack of emotional intimacy, infidelity and affairs.

Relational poverty is all around us, showing up inside us: self-bullying talk (at the roots of low self-esteem and depression); between us and others (Whanaungatanga: inter-personal difficulties, work-place stress and relationship problems); as well us at a psycho-spiritual level (Wairuatanga): feeling alone and unconnected spiritually to a deity or higher power. I offer support in all of these areas of wellbeing, through counselling, supervision and professional development training around attachment issues which include anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, and trauma.

Kia ora and welcome. You will find a caring, accepting, and thoughtful space with a genuine interest in who you are. I am aiming to understand your struggles with compassion while appreciating your strengths. Each person is unique, and I adapt my therapeutic approach to meet your individual needs.

I hold the belief that everyone matters. This is my guiding principle in how I live my life and how I practice. I am trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist, with an emphasis on relational psychotherapy. I work intuitively and empathically with clients to facilitate the sharing and feeling of emotions, together. I believe the power of therapy lies in those ‘human-to-human’ moments when two hearts and two minds meet, when someone sees you, gets you and challenges you to grow. Our task is to create a space in which we can make your unconscious fears and desires more known, and therefore understood.
