I believe that within all of us there are strengths and capabilities that we can access and grow to help us to cope with the challenges that modern daily life can bring. At times we can access these skills ourselves or with the support of loved ones, however sometimes, when that feels too hard a task, seeking the support of a professional can be crucial to regaining overall wellbeing. I am a registered psychologist originally from the UK and have been living in New Zealand since 2006.

If you're reading this, chances are you're on a journey. Maybe you're navigating through the tangled web of life, feeling a bit like Indiana Jones without the map. Well, fear not, because I'm here to be your guide through the jungle of emotions, thoughts, and everything in between. Counselling can be daunting. It's like going on a blind date with your feelings, except I promise there won't be any awkward small talk or fumbling for topics. Instead, imagine a safe space where you can unload your mental backpack, unpack those thoughts, and together, we'll sift through them like treasure hunters on a mission.

Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about certain aspects of your life right now? Maybe it's challenging to get motivated in the mornings, or perhaps you have a sense that life could offer more. The idea of counseling can feel overwhelming, but this is an opportunity to take control of your narrative and shape your own story. Instead of viewing life as a rehearsal, consider embracing this moment to make meaningful changes. Even small steps toward your goals can lead to a more fulfilling existence and stronger connections with loved ones.

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.

I specialise in assessment for autism in adults and teens, with the goal of helping people better understand themselves, and their life journey. I can provide screening for, or dual diagnosis around ADHD as part of this process. I also provide screening for specific learning disability in reading (dyslexia), APD, OCD, anxiety, and can assess for intellectual disability if necessary also. Assessment is focused on understanding one's own experiences and journey and finding answers to questions, with a neuro-affirming lens.
