I’m a New Zealand-trained and registered psychologist, practising since 2001, with a specialist focus in mind-body medicine. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working extensively across a range of healthcare settings, supporting adults with their well-being, mental health, physical rehabilitation, and performance.

​

My professional experience spans corporate health programmes (supporting general wellbeing), private health clinics (such as pain management and cardiac rehabilitation), hospital departments (including physical rehabilitation, respiratory care, rheumatology, neurology, and general medicine), government services (such as the New Zealand Police and ACC), and performance-focused environments.

​

I’m trained in several evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Biofeedback. While these therapies offer a strong foundation, I place great value on collaboration—working together to adapt strategies to suit your individual needs and circumstances.

​

My therapeutic approach centres on understanding and managing the underlying mechanisms that contribute to both physical and psychological challenges—such as stress, poor sleep or insomnia, pain, anxiety, and low mood or depression. Throughout our work, we’ll also explore how the knowledge and skills you develop can be applied more broadly, supporting other areas of your life and wellbeing.

​

All of my academic training was completed through the University of Auckland and the Department of Psychological Medicine. I remain committed to ongoing professional development, regularly attending training both in New Zealand and internationally. I also engage in clinical supervision and maintain active membership with professional health associations—ensuring that the care I provide is informed by the most current evidence, ethical standards, and best practices.
