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.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
