The journey to wellbeing, whether emotional, relational, spiritual, or physical, is unique for each person. By working together and holding the tension between what is known and what is yet to be known, we can move at your pace and allow the road ahead to unfold before us.
I recognise that even small, well-timed interventions can have a meaningful impact, drawing on tools from a range of therapeutic modalities. I have particular interest in supporting our vibrant and diverse Rainbow communities and those exploring their spiritual selves, while remaining open to working with anyone who feels I may be the right fit.
My areas of interest are: Anxiety, Depression, Cross-Cultural Psychology, Men's Health, Sexual & Gender Identity, Healthy Relationships, Workplace Wellbeing, Spirituality, Religious Trauma, Post Cult Counselling and Dreamwork.
NZAC & NZCCA approved supervisor.
Embarking on a journey self discovery takes a courageous step, and I invite you to take that first stride towards positive change. If my profile resonates with you, I warmly invite you to make contact. Together, we can create a safe and supportive space for you to unravel the complexities of your experiences and embark on a journey towards wellbeing.
