Empathetic Connection and Problem Solving

I am a clinical psychologist based in Warkworth and Orewa who is passionate about working with teens, adults and couples looking for support with a broad range of difficulties. This includes anxiety, depression, anger, obsessions and compulsive behaviour, panic, sleep issues, grief, stress, trauma, burn-out, relationship stress, and low self-confidence.

As a therapist, I work collaboratively with you to help understand your current difficulties and support you in making changes to reach your goals through providing evidence-based practices and therapies. I aim to provide a compassionate, safe and non-judgemental space for you to learn more about yourself.

Therapeutically, I offer approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy,  acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness therapy (see Services for details) which I tailor to fit your needs.

If you or someone you care for is in immediate danger, please call your local crisis team or 111.

I understand finances can be tight right now so please get in touch if you would like to discuss payment plan options, WINZ funded sessions, or I Am Hope funded sessions (for 25 year olds and under, see the I Am Hope page for more info). If you have health insurance, check your policy as sessions with a clinical psychologist like me may be covered by your insurer. Another option is for us to have a set number of sessions if you have specific goals in mind (see this website about how to get the most out of therapy). I am also in the process of registering with ACC.
