Psychotherapy is a type of conversation where we explore together what’s happening in your world. We are likely to look at what has happened in your early life, what is happening in your life now and how we relate with each other inside the therapy room. One of the aims of therapy is to increase your awareness of unconscious factors that may be influencing your life, including past hurts, to work through unfinished or stuck experiences and free-up that which is creative and alive within you. The therapeutic relationship is a vital part of this process.

Skills and Experience:
As a psychotherapist, I have worked mainly in trauma recovery following historical and recent sexual harm. I also work with people who are feeling stuck and exploring meaning in their lives.
I originally trained in Gestalt Psychotherapy and have subsequently trained in EMDR therapy and dipped my toes into more psychoanalytic models of therapy such as the Conversational Model.
I am a fully registered Psychotherapist with PBANZ and a full member of my professional body, APANZ.
