The first step is to listen without judgement to where you are at and then work with you to find what is best to support you to move forward. I have worked with people of all stages and challenges in life for coming up twenty years, so I have supported people in all kinds of situations and with a range of approaches. Any challenges big or small can benefit from counselling support and I aim to help you find your best way forward, helping you to find solutions and offering tested approaches when this will help you to overcome challenges and thrive.

If you are challenged by life, whether this makes you frightened, anxious, depressed or angry and are willing to talk openly about this, then I am happy to listen. Then I will help you find your own path forward with understanding of the past, a vision of your future, and practical ways to achieve this in day by day practices or skills. NOTE: Cost of sessions inclusive of GST are $230 for an INDIVIDUAL. $345 for initial COUPLES assessment. ALSO: I do NOT do assessments to provide people with a diagnosis, such as ADHD, so they can obtain medication.

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 want to recognize that pain, and can help those affected to move toward permanent healing, relief, and resolution.

I understand that some people feel rather nervous about coming to counselling. The thought of being vulnerable as you share personal strories and struggles with a stranger can feel daunting. Change is uncomfortable, but if you are reading this I imagine you are wanting something to change. You are stronger than you know. As a trained professional I work with all demographics, where no story is too big or too small. I promise to be non-judgemental, empathetic, caring, and to work safely. In our journey together you will always have autonomy as we assess and reassess the goals you are wanting to achieve.
