About Richard

After completing medical training at Cambridge University and hospitals in the UK, I came to New Zealand as a junior doctor, and married a kiwi nurse. We worked in the Solomon Islands and then settled into rural general practice and raised a family in the Coromandel. To satisfy my growing interest in the human side of illness I studied and eventually made the transition from medicine to counselling and psychotherapy. I now work full time in private practice as a counsellor and psychotherapist in Ponsonby, Auckland.

I am married and we have four adult children and two grandchildren. Active interests are summertime sailing and tramping.

Training

Mostof my training has  been in Hakomi Integrative Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and Emotionaly Focused Therapy. I have full Membership of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner. I am registered with the Psychotherapy Board of Aotearoa New Zealand.
