I have worked in mental health since 2002, beginning my career in community counselling agencies before moving into private practice in 2008. I work with adults and provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples.
I trained at undergraduate level in a number of counselling approaches including CBT, family therapy, couples therapy, and addictions. My postgraduate study specialised in psychodynamic psychotherapy. My Master’s dissertation examined the disconnection in clinical literature between individual and couples psychotherapy and explored the practicalities and benefits that can be obtained by integrating both approaches in treatment. This is an area that I still have a keen interest in today.
Originally from the UK, I moved to Auckland in 1999. After many years working in I.T. in the corporate world of London I made my change in career soon after moving here and I enjoy my work immensely. My previous career comes in very handy in running a small business. When I’m not working I am a keen DIYer and I’m usually on the lookout for something to repair or improve around the home. I love road-trips with my wife and kids and I can’t get enough of the New Zealand outdoors. I occasionally find time for some fishing or mountain biking and I have recently taken up sailing.
