My Biography

My family and I relocated to New Zealand in 2017 and happily decided Gisborne would be our new home. Prior to moving to New Zealand, I spent 6 years working for the South African Police’s Psychological Service, assisting members of the service, their families and the public, with their various life challenges. The South African Police Services provided me with in-depth knowledge and experience in the treatment of trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, substance dependence and anger management.

Clients have internal and external resources that they can draw upon when constructing solutions to the challenges they face. I use different interventions at different times during the counselling process based on the client’s journey.

We may use Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT), which is a one-to-one talking therapy that gives you the tools to reprogram your emotional or habitual responses. It’s an effective technique that can often dissolve mind-related problems far more quickly than you might think.

I remain open to my own growth and journey as a counsellor with the outlook that there is always room to learn more and develop further.I see clients at my office in Salisbury Road, Gisborne.

As a wife and mother of 2 boys, I love life and enjoy an active lifestyle. My personal stance to the all-allusive “success” in life, is balance. Too much of anything is not a good thing. I have a holistic view of life and believe true happiness comes from balance: physically, spiritually, psychologically and socially.
