I understand navigating the world from a place of perceived difference; how this can shrink and disconnect us from others, our lives, and also ourselves. This drives my passion for supporting clients in transforming Self-limiting beliefs and reconnecting with their inner wisdom, so they can lead their own healing/growth and truly thrive. Beyond Counselling, I’m a mother; I identify as part of the Rainbow community, and come from a diverse, multicultural family (Māori, Chinese, Irish, Dutch) - informing my cultural sensitivity and appreciation for the complexities of navigating dual/cultural identities, values, and systems.
While some of the above may sound abstract, my therapeutic style is not. I bring my authentic self to sessions - I'm playful, warm, don’t take myself too seriously, and wholeheartedly believe humour has a beneficial role in therapy. As a Pluralistic Counsellor, I’m attentive to moving at your pace and adapting my approach to your unique context and needs.
I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities and work within trauma-informed, Neuro-Affirming, and body-inclusive Health at Every Size (HAES) frameworks. My practice areas include: Disordered Eating & Body Image (I am 16 years recovered from Anorexia & Bulimia), ADHD, Autism (and those neurodivergent in other ways), LGBTQ+, and Trauma.

As a Pluralistic, Person-Centred Counsellor, I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities, adapting my approach to your unique context and needs, as signalled by you.

While for others, sessions might be exploratory, reflective, and inner-healing focused (or all of the above).
