Counselling is a process to help you discover your own strengths and come to your own decisions. My aim is to provide a professional, confidential and safe environment where you can meet with me to understand and work through your challenges. You are the captain of your own ship, I can help you navigate through difficult times by giving you tools and resources to steer yourself to where you want to go.

I feel like the writing was on the wall for me when at the age of 18 I joined Victim Support and began my journey towards helping others to deal with difficult times and experiences. I have since gained a Diploma of Counselling from NZIPC (Quantum Education) and am a provisional member of NZAC.

I have been involved with Victim Support on and off between 1988 and 2015 in both the U.K (Leeds) and New Zealand (Hamilton and Auckland). I have specialised in Family Violence, Suicide, Sudden Death, Homicide, Trauma and was
involved with the working group that designed the current guidelines
for Victim Support Volunteers.
