Background
I graduated from Auckland University as a Clinical Psychologist in 1989. Initially I worked for child and adult mental health services in South Auckland before commencing a private practice in 1992.

Approach
My approach to therapy is guided by:

- Cognitive Therapy approaches
- For couple counselling: Emotionally Focused Couple Counselling (EFCT).
- For trauma and abuse survivors: Eye Movement Desensitisation and Re-processing (EMDR) or John Briere’s Modified Cognitive-Behavioural approach.
- Co-operatively developed goals for therapy.
- I regularly review outcomes to ensure that therapy is helpful.
