I am a counsellor who values and respects each person's unique experiences and perspectives. My approach focuses on creating a safe, empathetic space where clients can freely explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering growth, healing, and meaningful change.

I am a Registered Social Worker with 5 years work experience in Mental Health, now specialising in Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating and Body Image work. I provide evidence-based tools from the CBT, ACT and DBT models, tailored specifically for eating disorders to support clients wanting to break free from disordered eating and negative body image. I also bring my own personal experience of having battled with bulimia for 10 years during my adolescence and early adult life to sessions to empower and equip clients.

I am a qualified Psychosynthesis Counsellor and a member of NZAC. I have been in private practice for the past 20 years. I work with individuals – from late teens onwards, providing a confidential service.  Working in both private practice and for DHBs, I have experience in the Emergency Department at two major hospitals, also in Womens Health and with Older Adults.  I have experience working with a wide range of mental health and emotional challenges.  This has included dealing with clients with depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma and relationship difficulties and other general real life issues as well as ACC Sensitive Claims.
