I am an experienced Registered Psychotherapist (PBANZ) working in general practice with individuals, couples and groups. I also offer supervision and facilitation. I am an Advanced Clinical Practice Member of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists (NZAP), and I have been practicing as a counsellor since 1995 and as a psychotherapist since 1999.

Originally I trained in psychosynthesis counselling and psychotherapy before pursuing further training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy with both individuals and groups. I have a background in architecture, business, and drama, and worked with psychosynthesis experiential teaching groups for ten years on the way to becoming involved with group-analytic psychotherapy.

I like the intensity of group process and the opportunity it offers us to experience the world through other peoples’ eyes. It makes psychotherapy available to people who might not be otherwise able to afford it, or who are not able to attend therapy during the working day. I believe group therapy can be more useful than individual therapy for some people.
