I believe that my role is to facilitate healing, growth and increased self awareness in my clients. This comes from my understanding that as people we face different life challenges and are often in conflict with the everchanging circumstances of our lives. We all use different coping skills to adapt to life and at times our coping skills are not sufficient and we are left feeling overwhelmed, helpless and hopeless. Mine is to journey with you through your process in identifying obstacles, removing of symptoms and lessening the pain while positioning yourself well within important social systems for self fulfilment.

As a clinician and psychotherapist, I see people as unique beings who are trying their best in life. Challenges come because they find themselves stuck and disconnected to the world. In this way, ineffective patterns are formed between themselves and their systems (i.e. families, social, culture, religion, work, etc.). My initial goal is to understand my clients/patients from their point of view without making assumptions. From there, we move together to create a context for change. Treatment of disorders includes Depression, anxiety , trauma-related disorders, Grief/loss, relationship problems, and others.

I am a Counselling Psychologist with a passion for human relationships and supporting people. I am mindful that the lives we lead may be influenced by the quality of relationships we have with others. I am devoted to promoting the mental health of others and empowering them to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. It is deeply fulfilling for me to witness people thrive and grow personally. I feel privileged to experience and to have the opportunity to provide a safe, holding space for people to share in their joys and achievements but also collaborate with them to explore aspects of themselves and resolve their challenges.

As a clinical psychologist, my role is to assess, diagnose and facilitate a healing/treatment process for people who are struggling with personal challenges and mental health conditions that are causing psychological distress. My approach involves using an evidence-based integrative approach, which is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools to fit the unique needs of my clients/patients.

You may be wondering about or struggling with life issues, chronic illness, anxiety , mood disorders or even with others in your life. If you experience relational difficulties, loss or problems with love, therapy may be beneficial to you. Or you may not have these issues but want to feel more grounded and have pressing questions or feel uncertain in which case you could also benefit from therapy. As I am in Auckland New Zealand, I am only available for pnline sessions.

Clients come for therapy due to unresolved trauma presenting with symptoms such as anxiety , stress, insomnia, irritability and frustration. Clients want to be able to live a fulfilled live where they can be themselves and become more of who they are meant to be.

Are you facing overwhelming circumstances in your life and need someone to talk to? Sometimes we find ourselves in situations cause us deep pain and we need someone to help us make sense of it all. These situations can lead to mental illness and crises of faith. There is no shame in seeking help in times like these. Sometimes all we need is a safe space to figure it all out.

Healing and transformation happens for all of us through expanded awareness. Firstly, we awaken to our unconscious purposes and become aware of the internal barriers that hold us back. This allows us to deconstruct the ego-illusion that has formed our identity and begin to freely access our authentic, Divine Self. We see new possibilities and experience new freedom, healing and growth. My holistic approach will support you to achieve the awakening, healing and transformation you want in your life. See a range of client testimonials on my website.

I offer counselling and life coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel confused. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and be able to see what started it. Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and my purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find success, purpose and meaning in your life. I will be with you all the way

Life is sometimes daunting, and it's very difficult to see a way forward. Patterns and behaviors learned from childhood are hard to break, and life seems to be an endless circle of always attracting the same people and resulting in the same circumstances and outcomes. Often these leave us feeling down and helpless, asking ourselves when and how can this be changed? I have found that each individual needs to find a counselor attuned to their own needs. This can be established through information supplied and fine-tune listening. Seeking a level of understanding and guidance, let's travel this journey together.

The outbreak of the novel virus COVID-19 has brought out fear, confusion and uncertainty in many of us. In addition to that, interventions such as the lockdown, social distancing and social isolation have added to the anxiety that a lot people are experiencing at the moment. The constant stress combined with related anxieties and uncertainties about the future is causing a lot of psychological distress.
