Professional background
I am a counselor with over 20 years of experience in the community and mental health sectors, My professional journey has included roles in both clinical and community-based settings—supporting individuals through helplines, one-on-one therapy, and group facilitation. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside adolescents, adults, and families across a range of services, always guided by trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches. I have a Masters in Counselling by the University of Auckland, and post-graduate diplomas in Gender and Women's studies. Therapeutic approaches I bring to my practice: ACT, IFS, Narrative therapy, mindfulness, and therapeutic movement.
