Introduction
Counselling Services and Approach
I offer in-person, on-line or walk & talk therapy. I also offer a FREE initial 15 minute telephone conversation to establish rapport and see how I can help.
Kia ora and hello! I’m a registered counsellor with experience in addressing all kinds of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger management, stress and navigating life transitions. I have a particular interest and experience in assisting men and women who have suffered personal or intergenerational trauma.
Our first session will focus on clarifying what brings you to counselling and working with you to plan a way ahead. I aim to provide a warm, empathetic and supportive space but if you don’t feel we align, I can help you find a different therapist. I am quite straightforward and can be direct if need be.
About Me
I am originally from England and I hold a Masters in Counselling, alongside graduate diplomas in education and psychology earned in New Zealand. I have worked at the Wellington Women’s Health Collective and the Upper Hutt Women’s Centre and have a background in teaching, probation and journalism. I currently run my own practice in central Wellington.
I welcome your enquiry through via the Send a message - button and I genuinely look forward to working with you.

Specialisations and Expertises
I see a people coming with a wide range of poblems such as emotional regulation in relationships, a sense of a lack of meaning or purpose in life, difficulties in expressing emotions, or feeling overwelmed and out of control in the face of life events. My role is to provide 50 minutes of focused, attuned listening and together we begin the work of inner reflection, acceptance and committment to taking certain actions to help you reset.Everyone experiences loss at different points in life as life constantly changes. Many problems arise when a feeling of loss is pushed away, unprocessed or invalidated by others. People also come to counselling when they need a different perspective on what is troubling them, or seemingly keeping them stuck.
Like any relationship it can be a short burst or a longer term investment and there is value in both. I suggest six intial weekly sessions to establish goals and momentum, and then we review where to next, but some people only want a couple of sessions to figure something out. Others have deeper and longer term issues to exlore over a longer period of time.
