I'm a registered counsellor with experience in addressing all kinds of concerns; including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger management, stress and navigating life transitions.

The thought of going to bed makes you worry.
I specialise in treating insomnia and sleep difficulties. Insomnia is not a mental health disorder per se. It is a problem with the human sleep system. Insomnia doesn't respond to standard psychotherapy and requires specialist therapy using CBT-I. I am one of the few CBT-I trained psychologists in NZ.

Waitlist for new clients
I offer a free first counselling session (60 min). I am open to helping anyone, however I have a particular interest in helping those who have been affected by traumatic experience such as bullying, earthquakes, child abuse, neglect etc. These experiences can have limiting effects on our lives, and cause us immense suffering on an ongoing basis in the present. I can recognize that pain, and help those affected to move toward permanent healing, relief, and resolution. Although the main approaches I use are IFS and skills from EMDR, I also use Flash, which can resolve specific memories quickly and safely, early in treatment.

My unique expertise lies in helping clients live their preferred lives despite the obstacles and challenges they face. The energy of my work is focused on the description of clients aspirations, not an understanding of the clients problem. The focus of our session is directed toward what you want to achieve as opposed to what you want to leave behind. This is why it is highly valuable among individuals (adults, adolescents) couples, and groups

Hi, I am a registered clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist living and practicing in Nelson, New Zealand. My primary focus is providing psychotherapy.

I prefer to work with clients in person but if meeting in person is impossible or impractical, I can provide services online.
