Services

I have a passion for helping clients understand why difficulties have arisen and how they are being maintained.

I am trained in a broad range of interventions including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) Skills, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy.

I can provide support for those experiencing depressed mood, grief, anxiety (general, health, social), obsessive and compulsive disorder, panic, work stressors, perfectionism, stress, life changes and personal growth, communication problems/assertiveness and relationship stressors. I also have experience in neurodevelopmental assessments.

Some assessments and therapy support can be completed in an online video-call format. This can be useful if you are not based in Hawke's Bay or cannot attend in person for other reasons.

As a psychologist I cannot prescribe medication, if this is indicated, consultation with your GP or additional specialist support through a psychiatrist may be needed.

Please note, I am unable to provide an emergency/crisis service. If you are in need of urgent support, please contact the Emergency Mental Health Service on 0800 112 334.
