Specialist Counselling for Older Adults and/or the Elderly

I have expertise and many years experience working with older adults and the elderly. I am knowledgeable about the stage in life when people start to get their own health issues or are struggling navigating their way through the challenges of a family member with health issues. In particular I have experience working in the area of dementia, delaying dementia, menopause, changing physical ability and many later in life illnesses and difficulties.

About Me

I have had counselling roles at a Secondary School and at Massey University Student Health and Counselling Centre. I have been a Victim Support worker, Brainfit Coach, and Activities Coordinator in Care Facilities working with patients and their families in the area of Dementia and Terminal Illness.

My Counselling Approach

We will work together in a safe and respectful environment where you can feel heard without judgement. I will help you through your difficult times, and together we will make steps towards you living out your values and creating a manageable and desirable life for yourself. The journey may seem overwhelming at times. I am trained to help you with difficult emotions, thoughts, challenging relationships and behaviours, that may arise in your healing journey.

I work using a pluralistic approach which means that I see clients as needing different things at different times. I have training in a wide range of methods and select different methods depending on your needs. The therapies I work with are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Non-violent communication, Person-Centred Therapy, Illumina Change Compass.
