I offer a range of empathetic and effective counselling and therapy services to support children, adolescents, parents, and adults.
I have a fully equipped play therapy space, and involve parents in their child's therapy wherever possible.
My approach is collaborative, focusing on your / your family's / unique needs - aiming to empower you with a greater understanding of yourself / your family/ as well as practical strategies for lasting well-being.
I am a certified Dialectical Behaviour Therapist (DBT) and use cognitive, skills-based approaches where appropriate. I am an ACC registered counsellor.
My professional services are rooted in a psychodynamic approach, which means we explore how your past experiences and unconscious patterns influence your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This helps you gain profound insights into your reactions and develop a greater capacity to navigate life's challenges independently.

What sets me apart? My commitment to empowering you.
I utilise psychoanalytic and psychodynamic talking therapy to help you understand your own processes, providing you with the experience of being listened to and listening to yourself, so you can become your own counsellor. A deep understanding of child development also informs my work with adult clients.
