Life can be challenging, and sometimes those challenges seem overwhelming. 

 

Sometimes we want to change how we react to those challenges, and sometimes we just want someone to talk to - someone who listens and 'gets us' without judging. 

 

With my background as integrative Psychotherapist, a PhD in Organisational Psychology, and ongoing professional development,  I bring a powerful set of knowledge and experiences to our work together.


Through a process of solution-focused inquiry, empathic listening, and creatively drawing on multi-disciplinary sources, I create tailored and engaging initiatives that can, with your commitment and insights, create a more satisfying life.

I am committed to exploring with you practical and effective steps towards a more 'choiceful' life.


Life is a journey

Life is a journey. And like all journeys, for most of us it comes with ups and downs, with twists and turns, with incredible highs and painful lows. Having a space of being heard, and feeling deeply understood, can be a powerful support during the difficult times in our lives.

 

In my counseling and psychotherapy sessions I offer and hold that space. Together we work towards increasing the choices my clients see along their paths.

There are times when pretty much everything seems to work against you – I can offer you different perspectives and tools for you to make different choices.

I work in Deutsch and English, one-on-one and in small groups, in-person and online.

 

 

I personalize my approach to each client 

I collaboratively work with clients to identify goals and tailor a treatment plan around altering unhelpful thoughts, maladaptive behaviour patterns, and difficult emotions, to enhance overall wellness and promote a positive quality of life.

In my practice, I work with adults of all ages.

 

 

About me

Since 2015 I am working as psychotherapist in private practice. I am honored to support a wide variety of clients through challenging times in their lives.

A large part of my professional background is within the organisational context where I worked and consulted as Senior Learning & Development Specialist. In that line of work I supported individuals and teams in their growth and through personal and/or organisational changes.

 

My personal experiences with dyslexia and dementia gave me valuable insights into those ‘worlds’ and how the impact individuals and families.

 

Being a German immigrant to New Zealand, and in the past having worked in the USA and the UAE, gives me an experienced understanding of challenges a change in culture and life circumstances can bring.

 

 If you want to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me.

                   

Online therapy

Online counselling (via GogleMeet or Skype) is helpful for clients who cannot travel to my counselling rooms.

I do not offer deep, long-term psychotherapy online, as I do belief that for such therapy to be meaningful and safe the personal connection and physical presence are vital components.

 

Qualifications and registrations

  • PhD in Psychology (Massey University)
  • Certificate in Adult Learning
  • Certified Transactional Analyst - Psychotherapy

 

  • PBANZ Registered Psychotherapist

 



Registrations

Specialisations

For immigrants these influences often happened in a language that is not New Zealand’s English. It can be very powerful to address these early fears and beliefs in their ‘original’ language – being native German, I can offer this as part of therapy for those who grew up German speaking.

 

With my background in Organisational Psychology my expertise includes the support of individuals on their development journey at work as well as in their personal lives.

 

 

Fees

  • Individual therapy sessions $140 per session (55 minutes)
