About Me

Originally from England, I made New Zealand my home in 2004. My journey has taken me from a thriving career in the creative industry to a deeply fulfilling path in the helping professions. Over the years, I’ve worked with organisations such as Home and Family Counselling, Family Works Northern, ManAlive, and The Youth Health Hub. Today, I dedicate my time entirely to my private practice in Auckland’s CBD, where I support individuals in their journey toward healing and personal growth.

My Qualifications and Approach

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and a BA (Hons) in Communications. In addition, I continue to train in a range of therapeutic approaches, including:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Hakomi Therapy
  • Compassionate Communication (NVC)

My approach is centered on creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as Internal Family Systems, Focusing, Narrative Therapy, Hakomi, and Rogerian principles. With a mix of curiosity, pragmatism, and insight, I help clients gain new perspectives and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.

An Integrative Approach to Mental Health

My practice is firmly rooted in psychotherapy, drawing on evidence-based approaches to support meaningful change. At the same time, I recognise that healing can be a deeply personal journey, and for those interested, I incorporate mindfulness and meditation techniques to foster self-awareness, emotional resilience, and inner balance. While my work remains grounded in therapeutic principles, I offer space for clients who wish to explore deeper aspects of self-discovery in a way that aligns with their own beliefs and experiences.

A bit more about me

Outside of my practice, I love spending time with family, surfing, meditating, writing, and getting out into nature. Whether catching up with old friends or meeting new people, I value meaningful connections and shared experiences.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I’d be honored to support you.

I look forward to meeting you 🙂
