Experience and Therapeutic Approach:
I have an integrated psychological approach that has stemmed out of extensive experience over 29 years. I have trained in a number of models and have a good in depth understanding of human needs and behaviours. I work in a clear fashion and work towards achieving desired outcomes. I believe it is important to develop a comfortable, relaxed and professional trusting relationship with clients. I work in a consultative manner and encourage communication about matters that affect treatment. I develop treatment plans and goals in conjunction with clients and review progress on a regular basis. I guide clients towards discovering their personal potential and empower them to develop pragmatic problem-solving strategies.
I have presented seminars and workshops on stress, life change, communication, relationships and parenting. I present seminars on managing uncertainty since the Christchurch earthquake. Managing life changes and transitions is a common challenge for people. I am a Family Court Counsellor and regularly do couples counselling. I am an ACC accredited counsellor and treat various forms of trauma and sensitive claims.
