I have been working as a Counsellor for over four years and have over 15 years experience in mental health.
I take a person-centered approach to counselling, working with people to set meaningful goals and collaborate on strategies to achieve them. I believe that people can live a valued life while accepting setbacks and developing strategies to cope with them. I help people to develop mindfulness skills to improve emotion regulation, as well as find practical solutions to problems. I utilise techniques from various counselling styles.
As a member of Te Roopu Kaiwhiriwhiri o Aotearoa / NZ Association of Counsellors (NZAC), I am committed to the NZAC Code of Ethics, ongoing professional and personal development, and maintaining the best possible standard of counselling support for my clients through regular supervision.
Supervision is with a qualified counsellor who has many years experience working with families and individuals in South Auckland.
