Welcome,
I am a psychotherapist based in Green Bay, Auckland. I work in person and online with adults. I have experience working in the private and public sector with people between the ages of 16 and 92.
I aim to provide a supportive and empathic environment to explore and understand the challenges you are facing. Given time and space I believe we all have the ability to reduce our suffering and move towards a life that has increased creativity and connection with others.
You may be wondering if psychotherapy can help with a particular issue you are struggling with. I have supported clients to overcome difficulties such as:
- Feeling overwhelmed by anger
- Dreading social situations, and generalised anxiety
- Burnt out by work
- Relationship difficulties
- Struggling with academic study
- Lacking confidence and feeling depressed
- Problems associated with sex, infidelity, sexual orientation, and gender transition
- Addictions to food, drugs, gambling, or alcohol
- Conflicted relationship with family
- Lack of direction in life
- Dealing with death or suicide
- Feeling burdened by shame or guilt
- Major life transitions, such as leaving home, career change, marriage, childbirth, and retirement
- Parenting, sole-parenting, step-parenting, first-time parent
- Struggles with creative expression
