I work in a collaborative way, providing the space for you to gain insight into your life. Psychotherapy can help you access and change long-held beliefs, habits, and patterns so you can experience a greater sense of control, ease and joy. Couples Intensives - for couples really struggling with their relationship or who want to move things forward quickly, Couples Intensives fit a month or more of therapy into 1, 2, or 3 days. Mediation between adult family members is offered as Intensives, not hourly.

Hi, I am a registered clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist living and practicing in Nelson, New Zealand. My primary focus is providing psychotherapy. Psychotherapy involves the careful application of techniques that help people change their behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and other personal characteristics in ways that enable them to thrive and cope with the stresses of living. I prefer to work with clients in person but if meeting in person is impossible or impractical, I can provide services online.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected — carrying stress, trauma, or life transitions in your body as much as in your thoughts. Perhaps you’re tired of pushing through and want a gentler, more sustainable way forward. You want to feel safer in your body, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and others. You’re seeking support that honours your pace, builds on your strengths, and helps you move toward calm, clarity, and resilience.

High-performing professionals and entrepreneurs often succeed in business but silently struggle at home. Whether your marriage feels on the brink or you simply want deeper connection, I provide a safe, structured space to realign love and leadership. Research shows couples therapy ranks lowest in client satisfaction, often leaving professionals frustrated. That’s why I created the Aroha Rapid Transformation Method—a practical, results-focused approach that helps couples move quickly from stress and disconnection to clarity, intimacy, and trust.

You have spent years achieving things you never quite let yourself feel proud of. You can fight hard for everyone around you - and go quiet when it is your own corner to hold. I work with professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs ready to resolve what has been holding them back - at the level it actually lives. Using hypnotherapy, Havening Techniques, and NLP, we work with the patterns and nervous system responses running quietly in the background - and resolve them at the root. Most clients notice a meaningful shift within the first session. Free 30-minute Discovery Conversation — no obligation.

My approach is best suited for those who seek a deeper, more reflective process. It may resonate with clients who have found purely cognitive or behavioural methods somewhat limiting. If you are searching for a psychologically grounded, depth-oriented space focused on meaningful exploration rather than surface-level reassurance, we may be a good fit. I work primarily from a psychodynamic and attachment-based perspective, grounded in the belief that current adult struggles are often tied to deep-seated, repeating patterns. By moving beyond just managing symptoms, we work together to create meaningful, lasting change.

When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.

What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.

What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.

How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
