Work with me

Perhaps this feels familiar….

Many of the women I work with have spent years being the responsible one, keeping the peace, putting others first and quietly carrying far more than anyone realises.

Despite everything they’ve achieved, they often find themselves stuck in familiar patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism or never quite feeling good enough.

Over time, many tell me, they:

  • Set healthier boundaries with less guilt
  • Relate to themselves with greater compassion
  • Trust themselves more and second-guess themselves less
  • Feel calmer, more connected and more like themselves again

Every journey is different. But many describe therapy becoming one of the few places where they no longer have to perform, hold it all together or carry everything alone.

If this resonates with you, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

What working together feels like

Therapy with me is warm, collaborative and deeply human. You don’t need to have the right words or tell your whole story on day one.

Bring the part of you that’s tired of holding it all together. The part that’s angry, overwhelmed, numb, hopeful or unsure.

Every part of you is welcome.

You might bring a journal entry, a podcast, a meme, a piece of art or simply sit quietly while we make sense of what’s happening together. Along the way, I may invite reflection, guided visualisations, creative exercises, humour or simple moments of pause—whatever best supports your process.

There is no one right way to do therapy.

Only your way.

Who this Therapy is for

This therapy may be a good fit if you:

  • Are ready to take charge of your life and follow a depth-oriented approach.
  • Are curious about your lifelong patterns and have the time and space for weekly sessions.
  • Are tired of therapy approaches that scratch the surface, are prescriptive and not trauma-informed.

This may not be right for you if:

  • You are looking at quick fixes or advice.
  • Prefer therapy that focuses mainly on worksheets and strategies.
  • Need flexibility to attend sessions only when convenient.

I offer individual therapy in person from my clinic in Papakura Auckland and virtually across New Zealand.

Why weekly sessions?

Meaningful psychological change rarely happens in a single conversation. It develops through consistency, trust and the experience of returning to yourself week after week. That’s why my practice is built around a reserved weekly therapeutic space, allowing therapy to unfold with depth, continuity and care.

Beginning therapy

Every journey begins with a first consultation.

50 minutes | $270 (incl. GST)

This is an opportunity for us to explore your goals and hopes from therapy and if working with me feels like the right fit for you and your needs. There is no pressure to continue.

Sometimes finding the right therapist is just as important as deciding to begin therapy itself.

Individual Therapy Sessions after First Consult

50 minutes | $260 (incl. GST)

If we decide to continue working together, therapy takes place within a regular weekly rhythm.

A reserved weekly therapeutic space for clients seeking consistent, ongoing therapy while investing at the standard session rate. This option is commonly chosen by clients who are self-paying or accessing insurance or reimbursement-based funding arrangements.

Therapy Pathways

Some clients prefer to invest in their therapy journey upfront. Therapy Pathways offer a structured and sustainable way to engage in consistent weekly therapy while making longer-term therapy more financially sustainable. The therapeutic experience, reserved weekly space and quality of care remain the same across all options. The difference lies in how you choose to invest in your therapeutic journey.

If you’re unsure which option is right for you, we can discuss this together during your first consultation.
