ABOUT ME
Nice to meet You
My official interest in counselling and psychology began early on in my university education. I discovered a world of psychology. At that time I was studying teaching. Fast forward a few years and I was picking Counselling as my degree. I find that psychology and counselling have such a profound and positive impact on the psyche of any individual.
Jump to 2006 and I became clinic manager of a counselling centre where I specialised in grief and trauma, mostly using Neuro therapy or NLP.
I then moved to being the sole national advisor during the initial role out of the sexual abuse ‘Its Not Ok’ line, before gaining qualifications that allowed for human wellbeing on a more holistic levels.
I have 15 years experience in a variety of clinical counselling and therapeutic settings with over 280 hours of additional clinical supervision. In the past I served as the administrator on the committee of the New Zealand Association of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Now I am a professionally licensed member of the Association of Neuro Linguistic Programming which ensures the training and practice of it’s professional members is in accordance with the highest international standards.
So while offering a healing experience on a conscious level, I will work with you to discover your own self awareness of what also may be the current experience on an automatic level. Where you are filled with unconscious thoughts provoking behaviours, that are no longer needed or wanted.
In addition, I have advanced my studies beyond Reiki master teacher to include Karuna Reiki, which creates a whole new level of healing that is available to you if you wish. Although I have by no means reached the depth of the human experience, I can gratefully offer you the healing capacity of mind body and spirit to fit in with you, wherever you are, or need right now.
Why work with me?
I know that there is a good reason to feel the way you do, I also understand you are a person who wants to be heard, understood and learn self compassion. Together we can create a customised plan to achieve your needs and goals through powerful transformation tools that, if you require, will address your emotional, physical, spiritual and psychological patterning, to light you up in success.

SOME OF MY
Counselling Methods
Neuro Linguistic Programming
NLP is not a talk therapy, it is goal oriented and short term. It’s a form of psychotherapy derived from integrating trauma therapy, neurophysiology, memory, imagination and linguistics and scientifically proven in ongoing research around the world within Neuro Linguistic programming. It’s a journey, or process of discovery of our selves, by becoming more conscious of parts of ourselves that we were previously not aware of.
Client Centered / Humanistic
in recognising your potential i provide you with unconditional positive regard to help facilitate change. my role is to avoid directing the course of therapy, by following your lead whenever possible. Instead i offer support, guidance, and structure so that you can discover personalised solutions for yourself.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT explores the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours. It’s a directive, time limited, structured approach to help you develop more adaptive behaviours and thought processes.
Your sessions will be tailor-made to suit you from my toolbox of 15 years experience
