I work therapeutically with children, adolescents, young people, and whānau with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioural and emotional difficulties, or with those who are having trouble in relationship, be it with family, peer groups, or romantically. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My practice is based on psychodynamic psychotherapy and sessions can include a combination of talk therapy, play, sand tray, art, and awareness of the connection between the emotional and physical body. While disharmony manifests in different ways for different people, I work to try and understand the essence of what is causing the symptoms that you, your child, or your whānau may be experiencing and support your return to fulfilling relationships and a meaningful engagement with life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you would like to talk further about your needs or to arrange a session, please call or text on 021-157-6095 or email [email protected] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Registered Psychotherapist with a Child and Adolescent specialism (with Psychotherapy Board of Aotearoa New Zealand (PBANZ), Member of the New Zealand Association of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists (NZACAP)
