I provide online Counselling, Psychotherapy and Supervision.

Unless you make the unconscious, conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate. – Jung

I live in Otautahi, Christchurch. I am Married and a Koro with 6 moko.

I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate healing environment for the exploration and recovery from deep emotional wounding caused by trauma experiences. I have invested a substantial amount of time and energy into seeking to understand what is helpful as this I believe is my life’s purpose.

Only when compassion is present, will a person allow themselves to experience (the emotional) truth. – Gabor Mate
