Disruptions in thought processes, often referred to as thinking disorders, can significantly impact communication, perception, and daily functioning. At Mind Health, our experienced clinicians offer comprehensive assessments and evidence-based therapies tailored to address these challenges. Utilising approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), we aim to help individuals identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns, enhance self-awareness, and improve cognitive functioning. Our goal is to support clients in achieving clearer thinking and a better quality of life.

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 and mental health, I have a good understanding of thinking disorders and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your thinking disorder better, along with specific strategies to address any unhelpful behaviours or habits you wish to improve so you can feel more structured and organised in your day to day life activities. My aim is to assist you with your thinking disorder struggles to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

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.
