Nelson 7011
I am an ACC Registered Psychotherapist offering short-term and long-term psychotherapy for adults, children and young people in Nelson (Annesbrook). My approach to working in therapy relies mainly on psychodynamic theories; meaning that I believe our early experiences have a significant impact on us. We may search for patterns in your life, to better understand what may be causing and perpetuating your problems. In long-term therapy it is crucial that you come to trust me, to share these often very personal memories and experiences.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental and confidential environment to enable my clients to work through any past or present difficulties which they may be struggling with. I incorporate elements of Play Therapy and Art Therapy into my usual approach when working with children/young people, as it best suits my young clients' needs.
If you feel that I might be the right therapist for you, you are welcome to contact me via email, phone or text. I am happy to answer any further questions you may have before scheduling a first appointment.

I often use a mix of psychodynamic, attachment-based, humanistic, and creative approaches. In our first session, we'll talk about what's brought you here and what you'd like support with. Depending on your needs, we might explore how past experiences shape the present or use creative tools like art or play. Throughout, you'll be met with warmth, curiosity, and respect.
