What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people! This Maori proverb strongly reflect my life and work philosophy. The goal of my approach is the long-term alleviation of distress & suffering. Immediately after a session clients will often feel hopeful and their mood lifts. Thereafter they return to the same home or work environment which maintains the stress and they may feel exactly the same. CBT and DBT provide strategies for longer term relief and successful management of difficulties. Together we will focus on adjusting thoughts, working through difficult emotions, and changing self-defeating behaviours.

Experience and ability to connect to persons of all age groups, all cultures and all backgrounds. Persons with problems of life do not always want to hear there is something "wrong" with them. Most of the time they can be facilitated to solve their own problems and grow towards more independence and maturity on a personal level. I see it as my task to facilitate change.

The decision to seek therapy is rarely made lightly, and I recognise the courage it takes to reach this point. You do not need to have all the answers before you begin. Often, reaching out simply reflects a sense that something in your life, your relationships, or within yourself needs to change - or that you are longing for something different.

Are you noticing your child feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with big emotions or behaviour?
Or are you a young adult feeling this way yourself? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this on your own.
I work with children, adolescents, and young adults to create a safe, supportive space where they can feel understood and at ease.
In collaboration with parents and caregivers, I help clients express themselves naturally through play, conversation, and practical tools, supporting them to understand emotions, build confidence, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting.

My ideal client is someone who has a need for therapy, but may find it difficult to talk about their issues. Words may seem limited to describe what they feel inside of themselves. Child clients sometimes don't know or understand the extent of their unhappiness, or are too young to know that they are mentally and emotionally affected by circumstances. My ideal client is someone who suffers from trauma and early childhood wounding, or presents an array of other clinical presentations, including depression, anxiety disorders and much more. Clients seek therapy because they have a desire to be healed and emotionally be in balance.

In my practice, I see clients from all walks of life, they often have one thing in common, trauma. Each individual’s experience with trauma is unique, just like our DNA is unique to us. There is no one size fits all method to unpacking and processing what has been traumatic to you. Therefore, it is a collaboration between myself, the counsellor and you, the client, to ensure that the therapeutic process is successful in reaching the goals you have set out to reach. Clients who want to gain control over disempowering moments and memories in a safe environment will feel at home in my office.

Your journey can sometimes become heavy but you do not have to walk it alone. This is a safe space for you to express yourself and rediscover the strength you already have. Counselling does not always have to be hard or scary, it can also be fun and enlightening. Every life story is worth hearing and every heart is worth healing. Your own well-being should be valued and it is crucial that we prioritise our mental health.

The pain of continued relational conflict, that just never seems to be resolved can eat at your soul, leaving you feeling alone and exhausted. The desire to have your partner know your pain and see your hurt is what you long for. Whether the pain has been caused by them, or whether you suffer from the pain of abuse at the hands of caregivers or others in your childhood, you want someone to know and understand what you are going through. You want the pain to stop and become free and whole. Sometimes you just wish you could run away.

I believe that every child can learn and should have every opportunity to learn. These opportunities should not just be what our education system offers. Children learn in different ways and I see it as part of my expertise to find ways to help our children learn and develop. I love working with children of all ages. I feel that teens and young adults are often misunderstood and I want to be there for them. We need to find the hope and light within each person and sometimes, we even need to show them what they have within themselves.
