Hello

I am an integrative therapist which means I tailor the type of therapy I use to meet the needs of the individual. I am fully qualified to work with adults, young people and children and offer face-face sessions locally in Christchurch, or on-line.

The decision to start therapy can feel daunting, and in response I offer a warm, friendly and non-judgemental approach, helping clients safely explore what is causing them distress or holding them back.

My practice is rooted in the belief that relationship is key to feeling heard and understood. As such, I offer empathic understanding and a confidential space to work through areas of your life which you may be finding overwhelming or distressing.

As an integrative therapist, I will work at your pace, exploring what you bring to the session but also collaborating to look at how present problems or patterns of behaviour may be rooted in past experiences. By gently examining old wounds, we can then seek to change negative patterns and encourage different ways of approaching problems. 

Some of the areas I work with are bereavement, anxiety, depression, workplace stress, identity, neurodiversity, childhood abuse and trauma.

I have substantial experience working with young people and the particular issues they face today.

After your initial email or phone contact with me, I will get back to you to organise an introductory phone call (approx 20 mins), where you can briefly outline what has brought you to therapy and decide whether my approach is going to suit you. 

Should you wish to proceed, we will also discuss session costs, and find a time and date for your first 50 minute therapy session.
