About Me
I studied the Bachelor of Applied Counselling at MIT in Auckland.
I trained as a counsellor in later life. I feel that my lived experiences bring a natural empathetic understanding into my counselling practice.
I would describe my approach as person centred which means you will always be the centre of your own story.
I also believe that a sprinkling of timely humour enhances the therapeutic process.

Trauma Counselling
Events can happen to us that are or were out of our control, but impact the quality of how we live our life. Talk therapy and developing tools to help regulate emotional responses are possible ways to start taking back control.
Havening Techniques(R) can help shift intense and invasive emotion.
Would you like some guidance to help achieve this?
Paternal Perinatal
Depression (PPND)
Helping new Dads adjust to life. The arrival of a new baby can be tough. The 'demand' to be strong for mom and a positive role model for the next generation may not come naturally.
Would you like to talk to someone about how you are feeling or to share your worries?
