depression
, CPTSD, PTSD, intergenerational trauma, body dysmorphia, racial conflict, cross cultural friction, and more.
Kia ora, welcome, and 你好! Psychotherapy is a commitment between two individuals to sit together in a space filled with history. To start this soulful exploration together takes commitment, courage, and curiosity. I enjoy providing a sensitive, confidential, connective space for clients. So if, you’re grappling with issues or experiencing various impact of COVID lockdown, relationships, or physical symptoms of stress, it might be time to reach out and enquire for support.

Interest in men's issues, relationship difficulties, loss of direction and meaning, and mental well-being including
depression
, anxiety, loss, & self-esteem.
Sometimes we all need the space to take time out to reflect on what's going on with us; or to talk to someone outside our immediate family and friends, a trained and experienced professional, who can assist us to think and feel deeper into our life, work and relationships. As we do this we begin to feel more human, more in balance and more able to warm up to our own spontaneity, vitality and creativity in response to what is required- be it coming to some resolutions, developing or strengthening aspects of ourselves, moving forward, or 'leaning into' our lives in a more dynamic or committed way. Therapy assists.
