Profile

My clinical psychology training was in the psychodynamic approach, including dream analysis. I later completed training in Integrative Psychotherapy with a focus on Gestalt and Existential approaches, and I have been a UK Council for Psychotherapy Registered Psychotherapist (UKCP reg.) since 2007. Over the years, I have gained in-depth knowledge and practice in IFS, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Family Therapy.

I provide therapy to individuals, families, and groups, and I supervise clinicians and teams.

I have worked in a range of clinical settings, from university counselling services to inpatient mental health units. Most recently, I worked for 10 years at the Adult Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit at Auckland City Hospital before transitioning to private practice.

I see clients in person or online.
