Counselling sessions are one hour long and can be done face to face, or via phone or video call. It’s important to us to keep this service affordable. The cost for a session for an individual is $85, and for a couple it is $120 (this includes GST). If the cost is an issue for you, please talk to us. There may be funding available, which can be accessed through your GP or other means. We are more than happy to discuss this further.

I am the Counselling Co-ordinator at Anglican Care. My client’s ages range from the elderly to young people. I enjoy working with couples, as well as individual clients. Mild to moderate depression, in both male and female clients, would be the primary issue for the majority of clients I see. I also have an interest in grief work, and I hold a certificate in supervision. I am foundationally a person-centered counsellor, but have an eclectic way of working with other modalities.

I hold the belief that healing begins with a genuine connection and attentive listening. I am committed to fostering understanding, respect and co-operation between cultures and I recognise the importance of honoring the spirit and intent of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I specialise in trauma recovery, focusing on the intricate relationship between the mind, emotions, body and soul. Utilising a blend of neuroscience and somatic techniques within a holistic healing framework, I provide each client with a tailored plan to foster healing, resilience and growth, aiming to achieve the specific outcomes they desire in their life.
