I’m an experienced and friendly, relational counsellor and psychotherapist based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I work with individuals and groups both here and around the world, to help grow wellbeing. I have 34 years’ experience working as a psychotherapist.

I love working with people, and do so from a whole person health, (or systemic) perspective. This means we take the approach of attending to the health of your physical body, alongside the health of your thinking/beliefs/self talk and your feelings/emotions to grow your internal sustainability.

I’m passionate about empowering people to fully inhabit their lives and to shine with energy, purpose, and joy.

I’m also a gardener. Many of the rhythms and wisdom which grow a healthy garden also relate to our wellbeing as humans — we often don’t see this because we’ve increasingly disconnected as we’ve become more ‘civilised’. We’ve forgotten how to look after the external environments of our planet, and may have never learnt how to care for ourselves.

I have a particular passion for supporting people to grow sustainability in the interconnected environments we inhabit: within ourselves, within our communitites and with our planet.

I’m based in Christchurch, and work around New Zealand. I’ve presented workshops and trainings on Growing your Sustainable Self within New Zealand, and abroad.
