I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist trained in the UK and have worked in mental health services as well as private practice. I work with couples and individuals and specialise in couple and sex therapy. My approach is to work collaboratively and relationally towards assisting individuals and couples to make changes and enhance wellbeing. In particular, identifying negative interactional patterns between partners, enhancing emotional connection and communication and facilitating the development of new ways of relating.
In couple therapy I am trained in differing models including The Developmental Model and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) as well as Cognitive Analytic Therapy. I am also a Sex Therapist and co-director of Sex Therapy New Zealand providing therapy for individuals and couples experiencing around sexual and intimacy concerns. I have a strong interest and specialist experience in working with older clients and the issues presenting in later life as well as in working with complex trauma.
I am a member of the New Zealand Psychological Society (NZPS) and College of Clinical Psychologists (NZCCP).
