Counselling can be incredibly useful, supporting personal growth, insight and self awareness. It can help you find new meaning and support change.

Counselling Services and Approach

FREE 15 minute consultation by telephone. In person, on-line or walk/talk therapy.

Kia ora and hello! I’m a registered counsellor with experience in addressing all kinds of concerns,  including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger management, stress and navigating life transitions. I have a particular interest and experience in assisting men and women who have suffered personal or intergenerational trauma.

Our first session will focus on clarifying what brings you to counselling and working with you to plan a way ahead. I aim to provide a warm, empathetic and supportive space but if you don’t feel we align, I can help you find a different therapist. I am quite straightforward and can be direct if need be.

About Me

I am originally from England and I hold a Masters in Counselling, alongside graduate diplomas in education and psychology earned in New Zealand. I offer in person counselling from an office in central Wellington, on-line therapy sessions or walk and talk therapy. This means instead of staying seated facing each other in the traditional sense, we take a walk along the waterfront, weather permitting, and the session takes place as we walk.

I have worked as a counsellor for the Wellington Women’s Health Collective and the Upper Hutt Women’s Centre and currently run my own practice.  I also see clients through ClearHead, an Employment Assistance Programme provider.

Prior to working as a counsellor I trained and worked in teaching, probation work and journalism.

I welcome your enquiry through the email form; and I genuinely look forward to working with you.
