Are you struggling with anxiety, past trauma, difficult relationships or a sense that you keep repeating the same painful patterns despite your best efforts to change? Perhaps you've learned ways to cope, yet something still feels unresolved beneath the surface. I offer a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach for people who want more than symptom management alone. We can explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, and unconscious expectations may continue to shape your current relationships, emotions, and sense of self. The goal is not simply to feel better temporarily, but to create deeper understanding and lasting change.
I am a mature practitioner with both life experience and clinical experience in private practice. My background includes overseas postgraduate clinical psychology training (NZQA Level 9). I currently practice with New Zealand clients within an NZAC counselling scope.
I believe therapy is more than a set of techniques. Through a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship, new ways of understanding yourself and connecting with others can emerge. If this approach resonates with you, I welcome you to get in touch.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, the effects of trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, chronic stress, and life transitions. Together, we explore the deeper patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress, recurring conflicts, or a sense of feeling stuck.
