This website is intended to give you some information about me and my approach to therapy.
Feel free to browse the website and if you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I have a relaxed and friendly skills-based approach to my work and have found that many clients can benefit from an intervention that focuses on supporting them to develop personally relevant strategies to manage distress.
Please contact me to discuss my rates.
I am a registered ACC sensitive claims assessor and treatment provider. Funding for sessions may be available via ACC if think you have a sensitive claim. Feel free to contact me to discuss this further.
*Please note missed appointments may incur a cancellation fee.
In my work I particularly draw on,
I have experience working in both the public and private sector, including 6 years in Adult Community Mental Health and two and a half years developing and implementing treatment plans for at risk youth as Clinical Lead for West Auckland NGO, The Kauri Trust.
I have been in private practice since 2013 and have been a registered ACC sensitive claims assessor and treatment provider since 2015.
I have worked with clients from all walks of life and supported people with a wide range of experiences and difficulties.
My work has given me a strong sense of the need for all of us to feel able to manage the overwhelming experiences life can hand us.
This has developed in conjunction with my doctoral research into the efficacy of mindfulness and I have a special interest in mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies.
I believe these approaches allow my clients to be more skillful in managing their distress and flourish in the reality of their day to day experiences.
