ABOUT ME

I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience.  I completed my clinical psychology training at the University of Canterbury and have a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of Otago.  I am also a qualified yoga teacher.

 

I am an experienced therapist and have recently taught in the Clinical Psychology and Postgraduate CBT programmes at the University of Canterbury.  I have worked across a number of services in the past including family mental health, rural mental health, eating disorders, and cancer and other health-related conditions.    I am an LGBTQI+ ally and enjoy working with a diverse range of cultural backgrounds.

​

I specialise in working with adults in the following areas:

anxiety

depression

adjustments to health conditions

work-related problems

sleep

eating problems, (including after weight loss surgery or in preparation for weight loss surgery)

body dissatisfaction

managing life changes

rural mental health 

adult ADHD assessments 

 

I work using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy and Schema Therapies. I am also interested in exploring how physical aspects influence mental health (mind-body connection) and how we can use this to improve wellbeing.

​

I see clients in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am available for Zoom.

​

Please Note: I cannot provide an emergency service. If you are concerned about safety issues, please contact the Police on 111 or the Crisis Resolution Team on 0800 920 092.
