Psychotherapy Christchurch
When you are up against a wall, put down roots like a tree, until clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall and grow" - C.G Jung
Sometimes we find ourselves up against a wall: anxiety, depression, a sense of unease, emptiness, difficulty in relationships or merely a desire to live life more fully than we currently are.
Psychotherapy is a powerful way of helping us grow our inner resources and changing the way we relate to where we are in life.
I have most recently trained in the Conversational Model of Psychotherapy, which has been backed up by clinical trials as one of the most effective therapies for personality disorders and has since been applied to working with many other forms of mental distress.
I am originally from Otepoti, and enjoy life here in Christchurch. In my spare time, I like to ride my bike, spend time with family, take dips in the ocean and nurture my creativity.
My aim is to provide a safe, confidential space to explore what is bothering you, and help you grow a deeper understanding of who you are. I know the courage it can sometimes take to come to therapy, and if we choose to work together, I see my role in being alongside you as such a privilege.
If you have questions or want to make an appointment, feel free to contact me.
