Individual Psychotherapy

In our initial session, we will explore what your needs are and discuss possibilities for treatment. Together we will decide our approach to therapy including frequency of meetings.

Sessions are available virtually through a telehealth platform or in person in East Auckland.

Couples Therapy

Emotionally Focused Attachment based couples therapy focuses on the attachment needs in a relationship and how this plays out in cycles and day to day interactions.
Once a couple is aware of the cycles at play and the unmet needs they represent, the repair journey toward growing your relationship can take place.

Sessions are available virtually through a telehealth platform or in person in East Auckland.

Child Psychotherapy

Children communicate through play and play therapy is a natural way of facilitating healing in children. I utilise psychodynamic frameworks in understanding and working with children's difficulties.

Post-Partum Support & Mother-Child Bonding

Mother-child Attachment & Bonding (incl post partum recovery)

Career Development & Life Design

Narrative career exploration & counselling is aimed at assisting individuals to find meaning in their daily activities including their careers. This approach to career decision-making is collaborative & explorative, aimed at assisting individuals at any stage in their career decision-making process to design a meaningful life.

I have a particular interest in working with young athletes in their life course design.
