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 renowned organizations 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 self-discovery.

My Qualifications and Approach

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and a BA (Hons) in Communications. To complement these, I have certifications and ongoing training in transformative modalities such as:

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

My practice is rooted in creating a safe, compassionate, and intuitive space where clients feel respected and empowered. I integrate evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches, including Internal Family Systems, Focussing, Narrative Therapy, Hakomi, Compassionate Communication, and Rogerian principles. With curiosity, pragmatism, and insight, I help clients explore new perspectives and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and purpose.

A Unique Blend of Therapy and Spirituality

As someone with a deep understanding of spiritual processes, I offer a ‘Trans-Personal’ lens to therapy for clients exploring the deeper aspects of themselves, integrating spiritual awareness into the healing journey. Guided meditations and mindfulness practices may be woven into our sessions, helping you connect with self-compassion, acceptance, and a grounded sense of awareness. I believe self-compassion is not only a cornerstone of healing but a gateway to profound personal growth.

A Bit About Me

Beyond the therapy room, I cherish spending time with my family, surfing, painting, writing, meditating, and immersing myself in nature. Whether catching up with old friends or making new ones, I find joy in building meaningful connections.

If you’re ready to explore your path toward healing and self-discovery, I’d be honored to support you on this journey.

I look forward to meeting you
