Services
How can I help you?
Psychological therapy is all about helping you to resolve your problems. I offer therapy for adolescents, adults, the elderly, and groups.
My Therapeutic Approach
I place a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and providing a space which allows clients to explore their difficulties in a safe, supportive, confidential and trusting environment. I take an individual formulation approach to my practice which considers the biological, social and psychological aspects of problems. Within this, I will work with clients to identify the most appropriate evidence based treatment approach within the available time. I am committed to helping individuals to achieve their full potential and identify individual values and helping them achieve their goals.
ZOOM or Skype
Online psychology services are a convenient way for you to access psychological therapy without needing to travel to appointments. Your ZOOM session will be conducted just like a face-to-face appointment. You are able to see, hear, and interact with me using virtual technology for your session. Please note that due to the specificity of registration I am only able to provide tele-therapy to residents of New Zealand. Please refer to the attached resource for more information on Tele-therapy.
Neuropsychological Assessment:
Neuropsychological assessment can help with everything from identifying concentration or memory disorders, identifying changes related to an acquired brain injury, to the assessment of special needs related to disability. I have completed post-graduate training at the University of Bristol in applied neuropsychological principles and am a NZ registered Neuropsychologist.
