about me
I have completed a diploma of Adult Psychotherapy in the Conversational Model as well as a diploma of Counselling in Person Centred Counselling.
I am also a graduate of a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology and a Bachelor of Physical Education with a major in Sport and Leisure Studies from the University of Otago.
I currently work full time in private practice after having worked at Student Health Services the University of Otago for seven years. I have also worked in a rural community counselling centre. These settings have provided me experience in working with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
I am a full member of the Association of Psychotherapists Aotearoa New Zealand (APANZ) and the Australia & New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists (ANZAP). I am also trained in and provide supervision to a range of professional careers.
my approach
I use a respectful and caring listening approach. I encourage self-awareness of one’s thoughts and emotions. I believe that health requires developing a relationship where one feels safe to discuss and explore all aspects that have contributed to the development of self. These include intimate and social relationships, family experiences and self beliefs.
I will encourage a safe and trusting relationship that aims for the promotion of unlearning and of new learning in a conversation between two persons. A situation is created in which problems are disclosed, explored, understood, and modified within a therapeutic conversation.
If you are hurting or wanting to make changes in your life, please don’t hesitate to contact me for practice location and contact details.
