Counselling Services

My approach is solution-based rather than problem-focused. I favour a brief intervention approach rather than long-term therapy.

Counselling Approach

We can all get caught up in life-limiting stories about ourselves and our future. Sometimes it feels easier to stay stuck than to change. As a narrative therapist I believe that these stories can be challenged, and we can have the future we want and are entitled to. Let me support you as you take this journey.

Background and Experience

I am a pakeha counsellor with over thirty years experience, familiar with working with individuals and couples. I have worked as a private counsellor and with a number of social services. For the past thirteen years, before moving to Kerikeri, I was a counsellor at Student Health Services, Auckland University.

Supervision Services

I have extensive professional supervisory experience. I work from a strength-based Narrative therapy approach.
