Registered Clinical Psychologist Experienced in Supporting Change Compassionately
I offer ACC sensitive claims and Mental Injury Assessments, Professional Supervision and Training Workshops (live and via zoom).
As an Accredited EMDR Practitioner I have worked for several decades with clients experiencing the effects of trauma. My specialism in this field has enabled me to support a range of other providers across several disciplines. I am no longer offering any new therapy spaces but continue to offer supervision/consultations, training and assessments (effective from February 2024).
My specialist areas are Trauma, Dissociation and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury using the APEX© model which I have designed.
My professional training is available via GROW Limited. I am also co-Chairing the organising committee for the ISSTD Conference coming to Pōneke Wellington 2025: Conference Website: https://www.isst-d.org/home/training-and-conferences/conferences-and-seminars/regional-conferences/2025-australia-new-zealand-regional-conference/
Sorry NO FURTHER availability for therapy referrals
Please note, as part of a gradual retirement plan, I am no longer offering therapy to new clients as from February 2024. See next page on ways to obtain help.
