Hello. You’ve found your way to my website. Welcome.

If you’d like to, take a look around. You might have some questions about who I am or what I offer, and I hope they’re mostly answered here. If you still have questions, or would like to arrange a chat over the phone before booking in for an initial appointment, my contact email address and phone number can be found in the footer of each page, and a web inquiry form can be found on the Contact page.

It’s actually really helpful if you do look through the information on this website before you reach out. That way we both know that you’ll have a bit of an idea about what I might be able to offer you. One of the surest predictors of success in any kind of psychological therapy is a good match between client and therapist. It’s not very helpful if what I’m offering doesn’t coincide with what you’re wanting.

In brief, I offer confidential, professional, English-speaking relational-psychodynamic therapy with a qualified, registered and experienced New Zealand-trained therapist. Essentially, I’m in the business of facilitating growth, healing and change through a particular kind of therapeutic relationship.

The psychotherapeutic process enables people to recognise and change archaic, self-limiting patterns. The intention is that you, should you choose to engage with this process, will work to come to a better understanding of yourself and your relationships, and create new possibilities to live with awareness, creativity, spontaneity, and an openness to intimacy.

People are drawn to engage in this process for many different reasons. Some find that they struggle to make and maintain satisfying relationships, or are becoming aware of unhelpful patterns which tend to play out in their relationships with others. Others are fed up with the anxious thinking or self-criticisms which follow them around throughout the day. Some have been feeling particularly lonely, or angry, or sad, or low. Others know a bit about therapy already and, even though they’re not experiencing any particular struggles, are interested in engaging in an accompanied process of self-exploration and personal growth.

For many, things aren’t as clearly defined as this necessarily limited list might suggest - there is simply a background sense that something’s not right, or could be different. For some, a family member, friend or colleague has suggested they speak to a professional. All I really want to convey here is that psychotherapy can be of value within the context of a broad range of relational and emotional challenges or life dissatisfactions that you, like many other people, may be experiencing.

I hold a Bachelor of Counselling from New Zealand, my home country, and have seven years experience as a therapist. I work remotely from my current base in France - securely online via Zoom - with people in the UK, EU and New Zealand. More information about me and my qualifications as a therapist can be found on the About page.
