I am a registered counsellor with over 20 years of experience working with adults from all walks of life dealing with a wide range of issues.  My approach is focused on building a caring and supportive relationship with my clients encouraging them to discover potential and recognize strength in themselves.  I strongly encourage and help you to achieve a balanced lifestyle, rational thoughts & high levels of self-care.  I am a New Zealander and have lived in Auckland for most of my life.   In the past 4 years I have moved out of Auckland and now live in a small town in Northland.
