Person-centered counselling blending evidence-based approaches to support your unique needs.

A pluralistic approach.

My approach is pluralistic, which means I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies depending on what’s best for you - whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma or simply need a space to talk things through.

I have experience with:

  • Anxiety

  • Burnout and Stress

  • Depression

  • Supporting Individuals With Developmental Disabilities

  • Faith and Spiritual Transitions (navigating changes in belief, spirituality, or religious identity)

  • Cultural Identity & Belonging (support for expats and those adjusting to new environments and identities)

  • Supporting clients as they navigate the evolving roles of men and women in the modern world—identity, relationships, communication, and personal growth

Therapeutic Approaches

Person-Centred Therapy (PCT)

At the heart of every session is a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel seen and heard. Person-centred therapy is built on empathy, respect, and authenticity — allowing you to explore what’s important to you at your own pace. This forms the foundation of all my work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, practical approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. If you're struggling with anxiety, negative self-talk, or unhelpful habits, CBT can help you learn new ways of thinking and coping.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you become more present, more flexible, and more values-driven. Rather than trying to "get rid" of uncomfortable feelings, ACT supports you in making space for them — and taking meaningful action in your life anyway.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

This forward-looking therapy focuses on what’s working, rather than what’s wrong. Together, we identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and find simple, effective steps to get there — often faster than you think.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy helps you explore and reshape the stories you tell about yourself. We externalise the problem (“the anxiety” rather than “I am anxious”) and work together to uncover stories of strength, survival, and possibility.

Te Whare Tapa Whā

Te Whare Tapa Whā is a holistic Māori model of wellbeing that sees health as a wharenui (meeting house) supported by four pillars: taha tinana (physical), taha hinengaro (mental/emotional), taha wairua (spiritual), and taha whānau (family/social). When one wall is weakened, the whole structure is affected. This approach helps you understand your wellbeing in balance—body, mind, spirit, and relationships—so you can strengthen each part and feel more grounded and whole.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Incorporating grounding, breathwork, and present-moment awareness, mindfulness practices help regulate your nervous system and foster emotional balance. These tools are particularly useful in managing stress, anxiety, and trauma.
