I am a trauma based, eclectic therapist with a person centred base. I have a B. Counselling. I am ACC registered. I have training in somatisation, Elijah House, sex therapy, sex addictions, & trauma. I worked in our local men's prison for 15 years as a 1 on 1 therapist. I work with people with axis 1 & 2 diagnoses, & was a registered psychopaedic nurse (people with learning difficulties & behavioral issues) a number of years ago. My ideal client is one who turns up & wants to work. Or maybe thinks they might want to work. Or had been told they need to do some work. I also zoom. Contact me & we'll start a conversation.
I offer safe long term work with a personalised plan for each client.
My speciality is creating connection with my client. Contact me so we can start a conversation.

I have never used health insurance. New Zealand is very different to the USA in this regard. However, if someone is, unfortunately, eligible for ACC funding then all counselling is free for that person. I also work with people with WINZ funding with a $9 top up to cover gst. Ring/email for a chat

I have a person centred base where I believe that you are the expert on yourself. My concept is that we walk together, side by side, through what you bring to our sessions. I offer some psycheducation to help you understand what's happening & why. I feel this is especially important when working with trauma, dissociation, stabilisation & keeping you safe.
