Our strength is in having a group of skilled practitioners who bring a huge amount of complementary experience and passion for helping people reach their true potential. In my own journey I have been fortunate to work with, and learn alongside, caring and authentic people who have supported my own desire to be more aware and accessible to my clients.
We have challenges here, though I cannot imagine finding a better place to live, work and raise a family. Prior to joining the therapeutic field, I worked in various roles in the field of communications, broadcasting, film and television. My interest in psychotherapy began with me engaging in my own personal therapeutic work.
After first-hand experience of the transformative effects of psychotherapy, I became motivated to offer this to others. I began by completing a bachelor degree in psychology at Victoria University and followed this by attending training workshops in various aspects of mental health treatment.
This follows four years of experiential psychotherapy training with the Gestalt Institute of New Zealand. I am a registered psychotherapist PBANZ and member of professional organisations in the psychotherapy field. I have completed a number of trainings in group facilitation, and have trained other facilitators in how to work with various groups.
In addition to seeing private clients on The Terrace, I previously worked as a guidance counsellor at a local college. I have also facilitated groups in parenting through separation, adolescent resilience and grief by suicide.
