I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session. Due to my background in nursing (including geriatric care) and mental health, I have a good understanding of various age specific diagnoses and life issues and how they impact the person and the potential impacts for those around them required to support them. My aim is to assist you with your changing life difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods. Where ever you are in your ageing journey, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

I support older adults navigating life’s transitions and challenges, including cognitive changes, grief, isolation, or age-related mental health concerns. Together, we focus on enhancing coping skills, emotional wellbeing, and quality of life, helping you feel valued, connected, and supported.

Auckland houses the majority of New Zealand's therapy community, with practitioners concentrated in Parnell, Remuera, Grey Lynn, and the North Shore. The city's housing affordability crisis — one of the worst in the world relative to income — is a persistent source of financial anxiety, and therapists frequently address housing stress, displacement, and the difficulty of achieving stability in one of the world's most expensive property markets. Auckland's large Pacific Islander and Māori populations require therapists with cultural competence around Indigenous mental health, collectivist family systems, and the historical trauma of colonization. Te Whatu Ora — Health New Zealand provides public mental health services, with a growing private therapy community serving those with health insurance or the capacity to self-fund.
