I am a clinical psychologist with 29 years of experience, originally from South Africa and practicing as a clinical psychologist in New Zealand for the past six years. My interests include: * Problems with Mood -- Major Depression, Dysthymia, Bipolar Disorder, etc. * Problems with Anxiety -- Panic Disorder, GAD, OCD, PTSD, etc. * Bereavement * Stress * Relationship Challenges * Intimacy issues, especially women's challenges (e.g., menopause, infertility, etc)

I welcome clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsettled, often during a time of change in their life. This might include becoming a parent, grief, getting older, or other major life transitions. People who are looking for a safe and supportive space where they can talk openly, feel listened to, and make sense of what they are going through. Our goals may include feeling more confident, regaining a sense of control, and identify a preferred understanding of your experiences.

I am a holistic counsellor/therapist with over 24 years experience. I take time to find out what is really going on for you and support you to find your way forward. We all deserve to live happier lives, free of pain and trauma.
