  I am a registered psychologist working within the counselling psychology scope, which means I take a strengths-based, holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients in making meaningful, lasting change. In couples therapy, I help partners improve communication, deepen their connection, and support one another’s individual growth within the relationship. I primarily work from the Bayder-Pearson Developmental Model, which I love because it emphasises the evolving nature of relationships and the importance of personal development within a shared life. I welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds and cultures, including those from LGBTQI+ communities, and work with a broad range of presentations including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a particular interest and specialization in treating Obsessive Compulsive…

Kia ora! I came to this work through my own lived experience - times in my own life when I felt stuck, uncertain, and looking for support. Having grown up in Aotearoa, I hold a deep respect for the diversity of people, stories and cultural perspectives here. I'm committed to creating a therapeutic space that is inclusive, culturally aware and shaped by empathy. My professional background includes graduate training in counselling, psychotherapy, and psychology. I’m grounded in narrative therapy — a non-pathologising, collaborative approach that sees people as separate from their problems, and capable of rewriting the stories that shape their lives.

Pākehā, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāi Te Rangi I am a relationship therapist, counsellor, and coach committed to helping couples and partners navigate love, connection, and trust. Relationships shape our lives, challenging and fulfilling us in profound ways. My role is to support you with clarity, compassion, and practical strategies to strengthen these vital connections. My approach is direct, engaged, and collaborative—this is not a time for passive participation. We’ll actively explore the key influences shaping your relationship, from early experiences to attachment patterns and communication styles. By identifying strengths and challenges, you can create healthier patterns of connection and move toward the relationship you truly want. I have a particular interest in relationships affected by infidelity, discernment counselling (for those unsure whether to stay or leave), and ethical non-monogamy/polyamory. These dynamics…

I’m a specialised relationship therapist trained in the Developmental Model by Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson as well as providing psychotherapy to individuals. I’ve developed my skills in the field of psychotherapy over the last 20 years and prior to that, I worked in a diverse range of jobs helping me see life from many angles. My enjoyment of learning and expanding my knowledge means I stay current with new information that I draw on to work with couples and individuals in ways that meet you where you are. My style is collaborative and even if you present with differing agendas, as a couple, I will help you navigate the way forward. I love busting myths around how a relationship ‘should’ be. Instead, helping you redefine what will work for…
