(she/her/ia) [Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāi Te Rangi, Pākehā] I am a registered counsellor, accredited professional health coach, and certified relationship therapist working in private practice. I am also a part-time lecturer on the BHSc in Counselling programme at AUT. My special interests are in the areas of interpersonal relationships (intimate/couples/poly-relationships, friends, family, work); bereavement (particularly those bereaved by suicide), and also working with people wishing to proactively tackle various goals and aspects of self-development. I work with individuals, couples, and other relational, romantic or sexual arrangements and communities. I am not currently taking on any new relationship/couple clients. Funding Options: I am a registered provider for Aoake te Rā (a funded service for people bereaved by suicide), nib Health Insurance, and am available for EAP counselling through Clearhead, OCP, or where your EAP provider allows members to choose their own counsellor/therapist.
