I am a member of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists. I have a wide range of experience working with issues of loss, grief, trauma and life transitions. I have a background working in education and community settings and I am experienced in group work. I am committed to supporting healing and growth.

I offer counselling for a range of issues such as depression, anxiety, eating difficulties / body image issues, relationship challenges and negotiating life crises. My background is that of a medical doctor with 12 years experience as a General Practitioner. As a result my particular interest is in the area of 'MindBody Healing' - working in a holistic way with clients who are experiencing physical symptoms such as chronic pain, cancer or other serious illnesses. The model I use is based on my Psychosynthesis Counselling training and my recent study on the AUT MindBody Healthcare progaramme.
