Location and Fees : My office is centrally located on High Street in Auckland’s CBD, just a short walk from the Britomart transport centre, ferry terminals, and nearby universities. My fees are in line with industry standards, and payment options will be discussed during our initial session.

Contact Details : Taking the first step towards therapy is often challenging and getting the right personal match with your therapist is important. Therefore, I provide an initial free 20-minute meeting either by phone, Zoom, or in-person to see if we are a good match for the work ahead.
