I am passionate about Psychotherapy and the capacity for healing within the therapeutic relationship. Building safety and trust so that both presenting problems and deeper, underlying issues can be explored and attended to- in a way which can be transformative.
I graduated as a Psychotherapist in 2002. I have been working in private practice in Auckland-including 13 years at the Lister Centre in Mt Eden. I enjoy working with a wide and diverse range of clients, including Psychotherapy Students.

BACKGROUND
I have a background in performing and teaching Drama, both in the UK and here.
I have used Drama as a vehicle to help children in particular, to express their emotions and work through distress.
My training as a Psychotherapist working with Adults, was born out of my interest in early attachment, and how our primary relationships growing-up, can profoundly affect the way we feel about ourselves and influence the way we form relationships.
