Dunedin

In my counselling work, I prioritise you as the expert in your own life and learn about your current position in what you’re experiencing. In time, we can work together to build pathways toward a life that is empowering to you, your family, and your community. Using methods such as externalising problems, re-authoring your stories, and linking with your community are some of the ways we can do this together

Are you ready for transformation? As a Conflict Coach and Consultant, I help individuals take back their power and use their 'conflict' to shift their lives into a better way of living and being.
Whether it's conflict in a personal relationship, a workplace dynamic, or during a major life transition, I support my clients in their healing to develop the tools and perspective to communicate more effectively, manage emotional overwhelm, set healthy boundaries and reclaim a sense of power and purpose in their lives.
Masterton

I see therapy as a journey of discovery and healing. Whether it’s working through trauma, grief, or building understanding around neurodiversity or family dynamics, I provide a calm, compassionate space where people can unpack what’s been weighing on them. My role is to walk alongside my clients helping them build insight, develop emotional tools, and rediscover hope.
