I've been a psychologist (NZ-trained and registered) since 2001, and I specialise in mind-body medicine. I have worked extensively in healthcare with adults for well-being, mental health, physical rehabilitation and performance. My experience comes from working with corporate health (i.e. general well-being), private health clinics (i.e. pain management and cardiac rehab), hospital departments (i.e. physical rehabilitation, respiratory, rheumatology, general, neurology), government services (i.e. NZ Police, ACC) and performance sectors.

​

I’ve trained in several evidence-based therapies, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), Mindfulness, Brief Intervention Solution-Focused Therapy and Biofeedback. However, I value working together and adapting them to meet your needs. Therapy focuses on managing core mechanisms influencing the risk, onset, development and maintenance of both physical and psychological health and conditions (e.g. stress, poor sleep/insomnia, pain, worrying/anxiety, low mood/depression). We will also identify the generalisable and transferrable benefits of the knowledge and strategies you develop.

 

I completed all my training at Auckland University and the Psychological Medicine Dept. My professional development involves regular training (in NZ and internationally) to ensure I can share the most relevant current knowledge and evidence-based strategies with you. I’m also involved in regular supervision and member of health associations as part of providing the best care.
