ABOUT ME
I collaborate with individuals from diverse backgrounds to determine the source of any distress or discomfort. I use a variety of bespoke approaches to find ways to eliminate barriers to growth.
I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches.
I am passionate about supporting people achieving greater happiness, self-fulfilment and positive health outcomes. This is derived from my own immensely positive experience when I engaged a Counsellor for support when I felt “stuck” in my thirties. I discovered that turning to friends or family had its challenges as they are often busy with their own lives.
Having a safe space to share your worries and learn new tools can be hugely beneficial. And I personally was able to make dramatic changes in my life as a result of the non-judgmental, empathetic support I received during my Counselling journey.
Sometimes we hold the answers within us and just need some scaffolding and support to guide us through.
I live in Mahurangi East with my husband and cheeky Labraspoodle.
WHAT I DO
My approach combines warmth and humour with a soft blend of confidence and determination for positive outcomes.
-
Becoming unstuck often requires examining past experiences and identifying limiting beliefs and behaviours.
We will explore your supports and anchors as you define your goals, and the resources needed to get there.
We will discuss courage, practical steps and any potential obstacles along the way.
-
All session are customised to meet your individual needs.
I use various modalities, tools and approaches to support you and these are based around current strengths and resources.
Having been fortunate enough to work with diverse clients groups doing short and long term counselling I am able to adapt sessions to fit your desired goals and outcomes.
-
I offer both face-to-face and online counselling for individuals and couples.
In person counselling available in my Counselling rooms located at Bertram House, 21 Bertram Street, Warkworth, Auckland 0910. Currently Mondays and Fridays.
