Therapists in Auckland

My approach combines professionalism, honesty, warmth and humour, without judgement. I take a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing, exploring lifestyle and health, as well as emotional factors. During the first session, I will spend time getting to know you and what has brought you to counselling. We will then identify what the goals of therapy will be, and together, build a strong relationship in order to help you achieve these. I will take into consideration who you are as a person, what your needs are and tailor an individual approach.

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.

Everyone is faced with challenges throughout life and most of us experience some level of worry and stress at times. Therapy might be needed when emotional difficulties end up feeling overwhelming, last for a long time, interfere with your ability to function day to day, or if your actions are harmful to yourself or others. I fundamentally believe that troubling experiences and behaviours are inseparable from our social, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural contexts, and are understandable responses to our current circumstances, history, belief systems, culture, and bodily capacities.
