Counselling/Therapy Services

Having been trained as both a psychotherapist and a Yoga psychology teacher, I view life’s experiences as integral to our soul’s journey toward wholeness. By learning from our past and transcending suffering, we cultivate greater awareness, awaken our inner light, uncover our purpose, and recognize our innate qualities & gifts. My approach integrates the scientific foundations of Western psychology—including psychodynamic & transpersonal perspectives—with the wisdom of Eastern and Indigenous traditions, such as Yoga philosophy & mindfulness. If this perspective resonates with you, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

I am here to assist you in connecting with your inner source of wisdom, unlocking your full potential across multiple dimensions of life—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—and overcoming the barriers that may be limiting you, including conditioning, harmful belief systems, distorted perceptions, and past traumas.

Counselling/Therapy Approach

My approach combines the sciences behind Western psychologies (psychosynthesis, psychodynamic/psychosomatic/transpersonal/relational psychotherapy) with the wisdom behind Eastern traditions/philosophies (Yoga psychology, Buddhism, Mindfulness, etc.), to support the holistic healing of the individual.

I am also a certified Havening practitioner (an emerging science-based technique for trauma recovery), and Reiki practitioner (a form of energetic healing).

I work with people mid-long term, in a 50 minute session once a week.

Background and Experience

I worked for ADHB, in a psychotherapy team at Auckland Hospital, and am now in private practice. I am also a Yoga psychology/philosophy teacher and author.
