Therapists in Auckland
I'm a therapist and registered mental health nurse. I enjoy working with individuals struggling to manage all the complex emotions of life. This may be a long standing issue or a recent significant event. It doesn't matter how large or small, even if you aren't sure what needs to change. The foundation of my work is collaborative, led by your needs, emphasising self compassion and body awareness based on my mindfulness practice and teaching through www.mindfulnessaotearoa.com. This compliments my DBT, CBT and EMDR training.

I believe that everybody can benefit from psychotherapy, from those who sense that things could be better than they are now to those suffering major life disruptions such as anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties and trauma, along with those seeking greater personal meaning and purpose. I have a special interest in chronic illness. Psychotherapy is a powerfully personal exploration of your unique patterns and beliefs. Entering into psychotherapy together, I work to provide an environment that supports you in seeking the insight you need to reduce your current emotional and physical suffering.

If you are a caregiver of someone living with dementia, you may experience times that are emotionally and practically challenging. You may feel sad, frustrated or resentful or feel guilt, grief or anger related to caring for your family member with dementia. Perhaps you are dealing with a recent diagnosis and struggling to come to terms with this, or observing challenging behaviours, that you are finding difficult to manage, or you are wondering how to keep going, or how to find support so you can take a break, or perhaps you are contemplating full-time care for your person with dementia.

In response to the 'prompt' ... an ideal client would be ... you! Whether you are a child/tamariki, a teen/rangatahi, a young adult/mātātahi or an adult. You are currently experiencing a few challenges in your life: due to current or historical events. These may include Trauma, Grief, Abuse, Loss, Relationships, Change. Your goal is to feel heard, to be seen (a little) and to evolve from where you are. To one day feel better about your life & yourself. Your looking for somewhere safe & quiet. You may have a curiosity beyond talk therapy... wondering what is Sandplay or maybe not.

It can be really difficult to share your deepest concerns, fears, and issues. Trusting another person with your ‘stuff’ can feel deeply uncomfortable and risky. With this in mind, I do my best to build a relationship with you (and your partner or partners) – in which you feel accepted and respected. No matter why you have come to therapy, or what you may share during each session, my role is to support and help you make sense of what's going on for you. It is not to judge, or tell you what to do.
