Online Therapy

I currently offer therapy online throughout New Zealand using the Whereby video conferencing platform. International clients are also welcome.

You’ll receive a private link before your appointment, which you simply click to join the session. No software or account is required.

I also offer a sliding scale for clients experiencing financial difficulty. If affordability is a concern, please mention this when you get in touch and we can discuss what may be possible.

Individual Couselling

I offer online individual therapy for adults throughout New Zealand.

You may come to therapy because you're experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relationship difficulties, shame, self-worth concerns, sexuality or intimacy challenges, or the effects of earlier experiences and relational or developmental trauma.

You don't need to have a clear diagnosis or know exactly what needs to change. Sometimes you simply know that something isn't working, or that you're repeating patterns you don't fully understand.

My approach is relational, person-centred and trauma-informed, drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed parts work, attachment-informed and somatic approaches. We work collaboratively and at a pace that feels manageable, exploring what is happening beneath the surface with curiosity and compassion.

Online sessions: $115
Phone sessions: $90

 

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy can provide a space to slow down patterns of conflict, disconnection or misunderstanding and begin to understand what is happening for each person and within the relationship.

My approach is relational and trauma-informed, with attention to attachment, communication, emotional patterns, sexuality and intimacy. I work collaboratively with both partners, creating space for each person's experience while keeping the relationship itself in view.

Where appropriate, I prefer to meet with each partner individually before beginning joint sessions. I find this can provide a valuable opportunity for each person to speak openly, understand their own experience, and feel more prepared for the work we do together.

Couples work is paced according to the needs of the relationship and may focus on communication, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, trust, intimacy, sexuality or navigating significant changes together.

Couples sessions: $180

 

Confidentiality & Professional Practice

I value confidentiality, respect and integrity. What you share in therapy is treated as private and confidential, within the ethical and legal limits that apply to counselling practice.

Client records are stored securely and handled in accordance with relevant privacy and professional requirements.

I engage in regular professional supervision and am a Provisional Member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC), with a current Annual Practicing Certificate.

I work in accordance with the ethical standards and professional guidelines of NZAC and other relevant professional bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with ACC?

I am not an ACC-registered counsellor. However, depending on your circumstances, there may be other avenues for financial support. I have previously supported clients to access funding through the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care and Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ).

Can I have a brief conversation before booking?

Yes. If you're unsure whether I might be the right fit for you, I offer a free 10-minute phone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what you're looking for and whether working together may be appropriate.

What happens after I book an online session?

For online sessions, I use the Whereby video conferencing platform. You will receive a private link before your appointment, which you can use to join the session. No software or account is required.

What is your cancellation policy?

I require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or changes to appointments, except in cases of emergency or unforeseen circumstances. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a fee of 50% of the session cost. Repeated late cancellations may incur the full session fee.
