Online Therapists in Taranaki

How incredible you've made the first step and are on this website looking for the person to journey to the next level. Relationship is everywhere...it's what makes the world go round or halts your world. We are in and out of connection with ourselves, our partners/whānau, and environment. I believe we are doing the best we can with the skillset and information we have. Though sometimes our best doesn't seem like its enough or produce the results we desire. Often making changes in life is about getting new tools, adjusting our lens of the world, and adapting our beliefs and behaviors to feel safe to reconnect with possibilities.

I believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is paramount for personal growth, awareness and understanding. Only when we know ourselves with compassion, can we invite others into our lives without judgement and with respect. Relationships are based on communication, boundaries, love and empathy. When we learn these skills we develop more meaningful relationships and can live more fulfilling lives.
The therapy journey with me is one filled with care, compassion, empathy, safety and hope.

I specialize in 1:1 counselling and mentoring, both in-person and virtual, where I guide women to quiet their inner critic, shift negative self-talk, and build a foundation of confidence and clarity that lasts.
Many of the women I work with are in midlife or navigating menopause, feeling weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, low confidence, or the sense of being “stuck.” Their goal isn’t just to cope - they want to feel calm, capable, and confident as they step into this next stage of life on their own terms.

The journey to wellbeing, whether emotional, relational, spiritual, or physical, is unique for each person. By working together and holding the tension between what is known and what is yet to be known, we can move at your pace and allow the road ahead to unfold before us.
I recognise that even small, well-timed interventions can have a meaningful impact, drawing on tools from a range of therapeutic modalities. I have particular interest in supporting our vibrant and diverse Rainbow communities and those exploring their spiritual selves, while remaining open to working with anyone who feels I may be the right fit.

I assist clients to create the reality they want while reconnecting with their joy, vitality, and presence. Most of the clients I currently see deal with substance use, depression, anxiety, and/or relationship issues. I am generally skills oriented and promote the use of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness through DBT and ACT. I enjoy helping clients feel safe, creative, and responsive to their external environment through becoming more internally resilient and stable.

I offer face to face sessions or online via video.
As a trauma-focused and culturally sensitive practitioner, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and respected. I understand how deeply personal and unique each person’s journey is, and I believe healing happens through connection and understanding. Together, we can gently explore the narratives and challenges that may be holding you back, and begin to reconnect with your values, your voice, and your sense of self. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — my hope is to walk alongside you as you move toward a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who you are.

My practice is grounded in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, best described as body-centered, mindfulness based, assisted self-exploration. Explorations in mindfulness enable clients to access 'core beliefs': deep seated ideas and attitudes about self, the world and our place in it. Usually out of conscious awareness these beliefs influence relationships, self-image and drive habitual patterns of response and reaction. Exploring both the resources and limitations held within these old patterns, opens the possibility for increased choice and ease with ourselves others and the world around us.

FAQ - About Online Therapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
