Counselling / Therapy
My fee is $184 (which includes 15% GST) per 50 minute session.ACC Sensitive Claims Therapy
ACC offers fully funded counselling for people in NZ who have experienced sexualised violence. Support is available even if the abuse happened a long time ago or if you can't remember the details. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, ACC can fund up to two initial sessions so we can figure that out together.
About
My work is guided by positive psychology, which focuses on strengths and the things that help us build resilience. I’m trained in pluralistic counselling, meaning I draw from different therapeutic approaches and work collaboratively with you to find what feels most helpful and supportive. My practice is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and compassion-focused therapy.I have special interests in both neurodivergence and sleep health, and am a certified practitioner of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi). I’m a strong believer in the healing power of nature, and I also offer walk-and-talk therapy. I’m Pākehā with whakapapa Māori (Tūwharetoa, Waikato-Tainui). My practice is neuro-affirming and inclusive, and I’m an ally to the Rainbow/Takatāpui community.I’m registered with the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) and approved to provide ACC Sensitive Claims therapy. My qualifications include a Master of Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Counselling and Guidance) from Massey University, and a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) from the University of Canterbury. Before starting my clinical training, I worked for 15 years in communications. The skills I learned there — listening, clarity, empathy, how to tell a good yarn — continue to shape my work today.
