“There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you” - Zora Neale Hurston
Psychotherapy can increase self-knowledge. Self-knowledge can ease suffering and bring clarity, understanding, insight and relief to current difficulties.
Experience : I have experience working with people (aged
18+) experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, life transitions, relationship
challenges and trauma, along with those who sense that all is not
right in their world and seek greater personal meaning and purpose.
I have a special interest in chronic illness. I have trained and
worked in psychodynamic psychotherapy since 2016. During this time,
I have practised at the ADHB in a team at Auckland Hospital and in
the AUT Psychotherapy clinic, before moving into private practice.
Therapy Services : I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where, together, we will reflect on your current difficulties with kindness and curiosity. A psychotherapeutic relationship is unlike any other relationship. It can provide a unique space to gently explore unresolved grief and trauma and reflect on limiting patterns.
I believe that everybody can benefit from psychotherapy, whether you're navigating a major life disruption or simply sense that things could be better than they are now. Psychotherapy is a powerfully personal exploration of your unique patterns and beliefs. By entering into psychotherapy together, I will provide you with an environment that supports you in seeking the insight you need to reduce your emotional and physical suffering.
I utilise a MindBody or Whole Person Treatment Approach (WPTA) to working with unresolved or chronic pain and illness. The WPTA acknowledges the deep interconnection between mind and body and welcomes all aspects of personhood. Together we will consider your physical and mental wellbeing, reflect on your unique story, and consider any possible connection between your health and life experiences.
Psychotherapy can cast light on old patterns and limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. Together, with curiosity and kindness, we will work to seek new understandings to help transform your life.
Approach : I work within a relational, psychodynamic frame and utilise a MindBody or Whole Person Treatment Approach. In addition, I employ some mindfulness techniques.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy means gently considering your current difficulties through the lens of old patterns and beliefs. Self-knowledge can ease suffering and bring clarity, understanding, insight and relief to current difficulties.
