“Supporting you in turning setbacks into pathways toward flourishing”.
Hi, I’m John, a registered Mental Health Occupational Therapist. Originally from Ireland, I now live and practice in New Zealand.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, career transitions, or simply wanting to gain more clarity, our work together will focus on practical, evidence-based strategies to help you take meaningful steps forward.
My practice integrates a range of therapeutic disciplines, including Occupational Therapy, Behavioural therapies (DBT ACT, CBT), Life Coaching and EMDR.
Through a structured and supportive approach, we can explore what truly matters to you—helping you reconnect with your strengths, values, and the activities that bring a sense of flow and fulfillment. Whether you’re looking to regain confidence, build resilience, or make meaningful changes, I’m here to walk alongside you—one step at a time.
