I work with adults and adolescents who feel worn down by their inner world, often in the context of trauma, chronic stress, or long periods of needing to hold it together. Many experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, or avoidance, and find that their usual coping strategies are no longer working. I understand these responses as understandable adaptations rather than personal failings, and support clients to develop greater steadiness, choice, and a more meaningful, values-aligned way of living.

I work with people carrying pōuri (depression), trauma, or pressure within relationships and whānau. When these experiences sit too long, they can weigh on the wairua and affect identity, connection, and direction in life.
Our first sessions create space for honest kōrero, where your story is heard with manaaki and respect. Together we unpack what you’ve been carrying and begin restoring balance.
Guided by te ao Māori values, the work strengthens mauri, clarity, and sense of self. Many people begin to feel the heaviness lift within the first few weeks as understanding grows and a clearer path forward begins to emerge.

Medication Management Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to manage medications?
One of the most effective ways a patient can manage their medications is to keep a list of each drug and dosage they take. Such a list can be helpful in keeping to their schedule and can also be something they bring to their psychiatrist or other physician so that the healthcare provider has a clear picture of what they’re taking and in what quantity. Using a pill organiser can be useful for memory and organisation. Patients should discuss their medications and their effects at every appointment.
What are the risks if medications are not managed properly?
A suboptimal approach to medication management can lead to potentially harmful health outcomes. Most psychiatric drugs have side effects, and if a patient is not aware of them, they may seek additional medical help or over the counter or prescription drugs to treat the side effects, which may have its own side effects, a process called “prescription cascade.” Another risk to disorganisation is that a psychiatrist without full knowledge of a patient’s regimen could prescribe a medication that should not be mixed with a patient’s existing drugs.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to get help managing their medications?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing medication management as a tool for improving their life and avoiding dangerous side effects. Offering specific examples of an individual’s failure to properly manage their medication regimen should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to break management down into parts, and there are several apps that can be used to organize which drugs are ingested, when they need to be refilled, and how they should be stored.
Are there natural treatments that can replace medications?
While there are many medications that can be vital to mental health, there are some natural lifestyle changes that can help reduce the need for drugs. Regular exercise, good sleep habits, a healthy diet, and therapy can all go a long way in symptom relief. Psychiatric medications typically treat symptoms but do not necessarily treat the cause of the condition. Many clinicians consider medications an adjunct to treatment rather than a treatment in and of itself.
